dot_nl Option missing #70

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The Options class doesn't allow one to change the ,,Allow . to match newline'' 
flags of the Regex class. It can be overriden per regex by wrapping it in 
something like (?s:<any_regex>), but it's more convenient to set it via an 
option (and a bit faster too, I guess).

I suggest using "(?s)" + re as your regexp. You won't notice the speed 
difference, and the reader of the code doesn't have to learn both what (?s) 
mean and what the corresponding Options tweak is. The settings in the options 
are really only there if you're using POSIX mode, where there is no syntax for 
editing flags, and most people don't use it. I'll leave this open for the POSIX 
mode people.
