How often would syntax like that really be used?  Sure it would be
cool.  But I think people wanting pcre patterns would simply want them
all of the time.  Is there really enough need to match different
styles of regular expressions to warrent the work to put that into the
code?  I doubt it would be worth it in actual usage.
