The problem is how to determinate, if we are inside are regex. I don't can
think of a easy way to do so, without building a second perl parser.
(Somebody said, "Only Perl is able to correctly parse Perlcode"). There are
so much possibilties that could be a regex. Also counting open and close
square braces will not work, because of code like
/[\[-]/
Someday, when I build Embperl 2.0 with a new parser, such things may
possible, maybe...

P.S. If you have an esay way to determinate if we are inside a regex, let me
know and I will put it into Embperl.
