(but seeing tests fail in regexp_qr_embed.t), a further question:
should (?flags:...) also propagate into (??{}), e.g. should this match:
print "match\n" if "A" =~ /^(?i:(??{'a'}))/;
I noted this because regexp_qr_embed.t does
my $RE = qr/(??{'a'})/i;
"A" =~ /(:)$RE(?:)/
which in my code is failing, since I'm propagating the /i flag but not
the (?i:) flag.
