I think there should be an option (probably an option, not a regex flag) which
controls whether or not the engine finds "ff" (unicode 0xfb00) when searching
for "f", for example. It seems to me that most people may not need it, but
those of us who frequently edit multilingual or other rich texts, encounter the
need quite often.
Searching (in the above example) for "ff" should only find "ff", but searching
for "f" should also find it (if the option were enabled).
As long as I'm on a roll, I'll also reiterate my request from long ago that in
addition to the "\Z" regex flag, there be an option (which is what I originally
added, but you {Bram} didn't like and replaced with the \Z). I would call it
"ignorecombining", to parallel "ignorecase".
To be orthogonal, the option listed above could be "ignoreprecomposed", maybe
"\Y" regex option (for the sake of orthogonality).
