Should Chapel support a regexp literal?
Should the syntax be something like r"a|b$", with special handling of regexp metacharacters?
Should trailing options be allowed, such as r"a|b$"i to indicate case-insensitivity?
Should this literal be compiled at program startup and kept around indefinitely, instead of compiled on-demand and kept in a finite-sized cache?
