I'm not sure what an extra flag nets you other than eating up an arg
slot (since PHP has no named args). It may be additive, but if
another option gets added, would it be another flag? If it's more
than a flag's worth of option, is someone going to have to do
something like:
preg_match("/$regex/", $teststr, PREG_QUOTEDELIM, $blah); ??
When the value of that flag wasn't necessary before?
This is exactly what preg_quote was designed for, not extra args. I
personally find using another function to be the most orthogonal and
therefore most elegant solution.
... Not that I'd mind seeing named args in PHP though ;)
