Little code &mdash I don't recall ever seeing any &mdash uses `\A` and `\Z` for regexps without `/m`. This is probably because the alternatives `^` and `$` stand out more. I didn't see any reason for breaking this convention. If `\a` was an alias for `\A`, I would have used that.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
