The attached patch adds a new syntax flag, RE_PLAIN.
Why can't you instead add \ escaping to all existing regex meta-characters that occur in the string, at which point you get the same effect without a new flag? And while the addition of a new flag may be worthwhile, I think that the divergence between glibc and gnulib is already too far; you need to get this approved in glibc before we go adding it to gnulib and hurt our chances of merging yet another difference between the two code bases.
