Hey guys. I love php, keep up the good work!

Anyhow, I've been playing with other scripting languages as well as php
to keep up my skills and I've come to realize how much a pain in the
ass regexp is in php. having to use:

preg_match_all("/\s+\d+.\d+/", "php version 4.0.6", $matches);

instead of:

"php version 4.0.6" =~ /\s\d+.\d+\/;

is just a real pain. I think bare regexps and an =~ operator would
really kick ass. I understand that the functions may be a simpler way
for people to ease into regexps, but power users want the flexibility
that languages like perl and ruby (among others) have.
