IIRC, this is from TheDamian's regex PBPs, which I religiously observe (the others, not so much). Things like `[(] [.] [ ]` are visually useful — especially `[ ]`, because what the heck does `\` mean anyway in `/x` context, which we ought always to use?

I recently decided to plunk `use re '/x';` [download] in all my new code to make it the default. It takes a while to get used to the free space around tokens -- it's like antigolfing your regexes.	[reply] [d/l]

As long as you're `use`-ing `re '/flags'` anyway, add `/ms` to `/x` to relieve that small, nagging, maddening ache in your left temporal region arising from always having to worry about just what `. ^ $` do, and the difference between single- and multi-line modes. (Another indisputable bit of wisdom from TheDamian.) Give a man a fish: `<%-{-{-{-<`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
