I had found that section, but those examples have no spaces in the
regex. And indeed my real pattern contains $, so that is part of the
problem. Meanwhile I found a workaround with character classes, like
this:
\NFoo[[:blank:]]*[bB]ar\N
(or any more perlish way of saying "blank").
Still, I think this aspect of the syntax is disappointing. I suggest a
new feature: a superquote (for example \Q) which has the powers of
_both_ \N and '"'.
Thanks for your help.
