I was just grousing about all the extra backwhacking of regexes in lisps, and like ... why don't lisps have #// regex readers? This seems like a neat and simple solution to that problem. Just turn #/regex/ into (make-regexp "regex-with-doubled-backslashes") and everybody's happy.
Someone do this for #Emacs #lisp stat, please.
