Making what was string match to regex using the same syntax is a
regression, isn't it?  I do not use :/ very often myself, so I
personally would not mind but people who are used to using :/ may get
upset about the change.  I do not feel strongly enough for changing it
to regex to declare such a change unilaterally.
