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 :)
