Earlier, Git interpreted the pattern as a strict prefix, which made
the operator unsuited in many cases.

Thank you for working on this...I really like the :/ concept, but find
myself wishing for a regex all the time. I have been meaning to do it
since you introduced the original. :)

:-) Since you seem comfortable with regular expressions, maybe you can 
help me: I am looking for a pattern which matches _any_ character, and one 
which matches only non-newlines, both with and without REG_NEWLINE. Hmm?
