I don't trust smileys, people may not notice them. The above was clearly a joke, except for the shooting part. Let me state the matter seriously. Anyone who thinks that more control characters should be inserted into a regex stream, that has no wide based standard for why the control character is being so inserted, is making a very poor design decision. It is very difficult to keep the standard control characters straight as is, not to mention the CMake quirk of double \\ escapes due to argument processing. Please no more regex pain than everyone already has. I can just see the collective scream from all the regex gurus moving to CMake, when things that parsed fine in their old ways of doing things explode because now they have to deal with ~ as a special case.
