Two further comments on RegexString:
(1) I actually have to use Ian Jackson's excellent
matchRegexAll
function to do what I want. If this were documented and supported
I would appreciate it.
(2) While I can live without the facility (I think) it would nevertheless
be nice to be able to toggle at least case sensitivity and
line mode, as Regex allows you to do. Something like the attached
modified version of RegexString should do the trick, without breaking
anything.
