Tim, have you tried using /\v to start all regexes in Vim?
I know about it, but don't think to use it often because by the time I think "grr, I should have used \v", I've got a sufficiently-complex regex that I'd have to go back and modify it stripping out a portion (but not all) of the backslashes.
I use it mostly when playing vimgolf.com :) (@gumnos)
Now if only there were a config switch to make that the norm! ;-)
As the caveat at ":help 'magic'" says, such an option has the opportunity for mass-breaking scripts and plugins that depend on Vim regexps.
