The #168, multi-line regex solution, could cause problems when opening large files.
This problem exists even without multi-line regex.
Suppose, a large file is present which contains no 'newline' characters?
Then a line is the whole file.
This problem can be addressed, see https://gitlab.com/babeloff/bbex, by chunking the file into appropriate blocks.
In the default case, the blocks are delimited by 'newline' characters.
If you are interested I could probably write a PR to address this (very rare) bug.
It would provide the multi-line regex feature as a side-effect.
