I still don't see the advantage of compiling regexps while scripts remain interpreted.
Well, storing the compiled regex is surely a lot faster. However, I don't think that's the way to do it for VimScript, as it isn't really parsed, it's just executed line-by-line. What /would/ make sense is to cache the compiled regexes so that regexes used in a loop won't have to be compiled as often. That's a fairly trivial fix, although I'm not going to perform it. nikolai
