           Summary: Regexp multiline attribute is broken
           Product: D
           Version: 2.012
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: nyphbl8d gmail.com


When matching on text that includes newlines, multiline matching (splitting the
string on newlines first and then matching on individual lines) seems to be the
default and makes the "m" attribute useless.  It also requires the removal of
all newlines if they need to be matched over.  The following code snippet
should show the issue:
if (auto m = std.regexp.search("foo\nbar","f.*r")) {
        writefln("match found: %s",m.match(0));
} else {
        writefln("no match!");
}

The "m" flag refers to the behavior of ^ and $, not that of the dot.
