Having /k means '(?k:)' becoming valid, and that will interfere with Regexp::Common, which uses '(?k:)'. /p started out as /k, and it was changed to /p as to not interfere with Regexp::Common. > /? to change /i to mean canonical decomposition. I've thought about /i > /ii, and /iii for these; but don't think it's a good idea. > /? to change /i to mean simple case folding, or make that the default > and /f to mean full.
