Any opposition still to the idea of syntax indicating default regexmodifiers?

If we're going to do this, I'd like to do it now before the new regex 
modifiers go in.

Aristotle withdrew his opposition and became a supporter after he 
understood what the proposal really was.  Sorry for being unclear.

If there's no opposition, we need to settle on what is the syntax is. 
Ben originally proposed (?~  I thought (?.  was better because the tilde 
can be too easily confused with a hyphen, (?-  which is also legal right 
after the question mark.

Another option is to make it a two character sequence, the first one is 
a tilde, say, and I'm not sure what the second one should be.  This 
would allow future expansion so that some other 2nd char could mean 
something else.  Mostly people wouldn't type this, it would be inserted 
by the regex compiler.
