I like these too, but hitherto all the flags were 1-byte and could be
taken in any order, this would change that.
That might break some things, like stuff that uses re.pm and some of
the other regex APIs. Not a show stopper, but something to consider.
Would it only be at the end, or would /foo/ulpg work?
If we're going that route I think we might as well try to make the
Perl 6 flag groups work, i.e.:
m/Some stuff/c:u0:g
That may be a no-go due to conflicting with some other syntax, though.
