Thanks Philip.

One major problem we face is that eventually we want to allow multi-line regex
search.

I was thinking, perhaps something along these lines is possible:

1. add a function that compiles the reverse of a given regex,

2. possibly have a mode that would reverse the input before matching,

But thinking about it more, it gets really complicated around handling Unicode
properly.

Still, an idea.
