I think you misunderstand '^'.
1. It need not be at the start of the regex: /abc|^xyz/ for example
(this is a perfectly reasonable pattern you might give to grep for "find
a line containing 'abc' or beginning with 'xyz'".)
2. It does not always match at the start of the subject string: in
multiline mode it can match after a newline in the middle of a string.
