Flags for regular expression compilation
.IP "" -2
- 
\fBIgnoreCase \fP
makes the expression case-insensitive (so "^a" would match "All" and "all"
.IP "" -2
- 
\fBExtended \fP
when set causes whitespace in the pattern (other than in a character class) and characters between a '#' outside a character class and the next newline character to be ignored. An escaping backslash can be used to include a whitespace or '#' character as part of the pattern.
.IP "" -2
- 
\fBMultiline \fP
changes the meaning of the start '^' and end '$' characters so that as well as matching the start and end of the string, they will also match immediately after and immediately before a newline '\\n' character.
.IP "" -2
- 
\fBUngreedy \fP
causes the expression and sub-expressions to find the smallest possible match, rather than the largest possible, unless a '?' is placed after the expression. For example, the pattern "a.*a" would match "aca" if ungreedy, and "acada" if greedy in the string "bacadaf".
