Just complaining...

As a perl hacker in the AS3 world, I make heavy use of RegEx...
It would be nice if Adobe would supply alternative delimeters for
strings other than single & double quotes (for example when your
string contains double and single quotes, and its too much trouble to
escape every quote - if that's even possible, which I can't recall at
the moment), and alternative delimeters for RegExp other than //.  It
would make for a lot more readable code...

var pattern : RegExp = /\/\/.*?\//gis; //yes it comes up often

On top of that, Eclipse seems to get easily confused with its color
coding when it comes to RegEx... /.../ and everything in between
starts out red, but as you add to the expression it goes into color
limbo land, changing colors on the pattern with no seeming logic.

And how the heck do you use a variable in a AS3 regex?

Complaints aside, hey I flipped out when they introduced RegEx support
in AS3. \;)
