Why not just allow this as an optional feature, i don't see any reasons to
keep this out as it doesn't affect any performace and can maybe help some
old-skewl PERL-Coders to convert over to PHP.
For god's sake people: it's 'Perl', not PERL.
And I agree with Rasmus - especially since a regex operaotr only provides alternative syntax to already existing functionality.
