These are cases where I think the p5 tests each need to become multiple tests in the p6rules suite. The above tests probably should go into the p6rules suite as "abc" /a.c/ (match) "a\nc" /a.c/ (match) "abc" /a\Nc/ (match) "a\nc" /a\Nc/ (no match) so that we get all of the cases implied by #1 and #2 above. I think this also points to why we might want to just do as much autoconverting of 're_tests' as we can at the beginning, and then decide we've done enough and maintain things manually from there.
