What is broken about $1 (I am not clear about the
interpretation..). AFAICS, $1 is magic, and the UTF8-flag will only be
set after the first get. My original bug-report about $1 was caused by
pp_concat not honoring this by first looking at the flag (where it wasn't
set) and then invoking magic.
So the question is: who is wrong, the user (i.e. pp_concat and probably other
placses) who doesn't check early enough, or the regex op who should set the
utf8-flag.
IMHO, delaying the flag setting (as it happens now) seems right to me.
