A cross-reference would be useful. The patch we have is better than nothing.
Better than that might be something like:
There are a number of flags that can be found at the end of regular
expression constructs that are I<not> generic regular expression flags, but
apply to the operation being performed, like matching or substitution (C<m//>
or C<s///> respectively). These flags, fully documented in
L<perlop/Whatever>, are:
e - (...eval stuff...)
r - (...replace stuff...)
g - (...globally stuff...)
If the current patch is applied as-is, I think that's fine, and I can do the
above a bit later.
