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.
XEmacs 21.5b28 ported that syntax from SXEmacs in 2007 ;)
