SE-0354: Regex Literals

[Ben_Cohen]

@xwu

Even if whitespaces are semantic in multiline regex literals, one would expect the leading and trailing newlines to be ignored by analogy with string literals. Is this not proposed to be the case? If not, why not?

Can I check if this question is addressing the proposal, or @Paul_Cantrell's thoughts?

The proposal is that with multi-line literals, whitespace is not semantic. So leading and trailing newlines are ignored, not just by analogy with string literals but because all whitespace is ignored.
