The problem is that we do not treat / itself to start regexps because  
it does not unambiguously start a regexp (it could be division).

So we need a heuristic — Ruby has the same problem and we have refined  
its heuristic at least a dozen times, yet there are still cases it  
can’t handle. Perl hasn’t seen that much love though.
