If it provides me a more friendly regexp syntax where I don't have to
qoute parens, alternations then I'm OK with it, though I guess
providing a full translation for certain styles is much more work,
so giving an option for translation and letting the user write his
own function according to his taste may be the simpler solution which
can even support different custom regexp styles later.
