not just in regexes, but in general, a way to extend the set of bratches
that Perl knows about would be very nice. for instance it is very difficult
for people using european keyboards to produce curlies; if it was possible to
say that Q is the opening brace and it matches against q later, or any arbitrary
characters, such as the single-character versions of << and >> which I am not
capable of producing, if it was possible to specify this in the code somewhere
for instance
$CORE::BRATCH{'Q'} = 'q';
(or maybe lexically scoped)
after that one could say
$isafromline = qrQ^Fromq;
for instance.
