regex <- newline_sensitive: bool

If @on, . and a negated bracket expression such as [^a] do not match a newline, so a match does not cross the end of a line unless the pattern contains a newline explicitly. This is the expected behaviour for a pattern typed by the user, as in PceEmacs search and replace. The default is @off, which allows patterns to span lines. Independent of this setting, ^ and $ match at the start and end of each line.
