I also think it would be difficult; all tha po4a sees at this point
is a string, and it's probably impossible to preprocess it into a
regexp.
What po4a could maybe do is to mention in the documentation that the
string in "position=something" in addendums will be interpreted as a
Perl regexp later.

I tend to agree. (And it aleady escapes the backslash.)
Lucas, what do you think?
