I suppose a bound variable around re-search-forward, to indicate the
parsing style, would be the way to go. That, or a separate function
for new-style, like PHP does.
Or, perhaps, a new reader syntax for the new-style regexps. Like:
(re-search-forward #"(\s+)" nil t)
Or #/(\s+)/? #/"(\s+)"? Anyway, the low-level regexp functions could
do the dispatch on the object type instead of introducing new
functions.
