Err, actually I wanted to say pretty much the opposite of what I did. I was
using MULTILINE to mean having to use \r\n to match something across
multiple lines. The standard definition of that appears to be to
automatically match the beginning and ending of lines with ^ and $.
So I think we should use the MULTILINE option. Matching autocomplete
entries is going to be much more common on a single line.
Oh, and the new test tool doesn't seem to match anything with a ^ as the
first character of the regexp.
