Bug description: Regular expression navigation regression
Description:
------------
There was a change made to the regular expression documentation recently,
whereby it is now 2 clicks to get to the "PCRE" modifiers and syntax.
Normally a change like this wouldn't bother me, but regular expressions are
a core part of web development and I use them extensively. Whenever I want
to look up a regular expression, I often will start at one of the preg_*
functions to check the argument order, etc., then go to the regex pattern
parts of the documentation to check the expression itself.
In summary, this is somewhat subjective but I personally believe moving
the pattern modifiers and syntax from the navigation pane you get in the
regular expression functions docs was a regression in the site's navigation
structure. I would sincerely appreciate it if some way could be found to
move them back, as they are vitally useful and it wouldn't surprise me at
all if they were one of the busier pages on the site :)
