It's not an issue if you have a regexp object. But consider this:
$ perl -E 'my $s = "foo"; my $o = qr/foo/; my $so = "$o"; my $n =
qr/ $s ${o} blah ${so} /i; say $n'
(?i-xsm: foo (?-xism:foo) blah (?-xism:foo) )
Even if we didn't dump the default modifiers we could detect the "$o"
case since it's a regexp object, but we wouldn't detect "$so" since
it's a stringified "$o".
