I'd prefer not. Currently I often do
grep foo *.[ch]
when hunting for things in the core (as opposed to in everything) and I
can imagine constantly forgetting to search re/ (and any other additions).
As for the split, I'm particularly bothered either way. But if we do
reorganise, then there are a few runtime things in regcomp.c that really
aught to be in regexec.c, like Perl_reg_numbered_buff_fetch().
