Getting there, dude. :-)

I'd love non-interpolating single-quotes, which would allow
if $recipients matches '\b(sheldonh|root)@starjuice\.net\b'
This would fall in line with C, perl and the Bourne shell at least. :-)
Of course, it'd trip up the inexperienced, because this would never
match:
if $recipients is '$recipients'
But I don't think that's a strong case for excluding it from the Wish
List. :-)
As an aside, what's \N for? I've never used it in perl, whence cometh
PCRE.
