i'm not arguing for or against the idea here, just want to point
out that i don't think syntax is the limiting factor.
if « and » are not acceptable, then we can reuse existing characters.
having ^ and $ loose their idempotency would not be a large inconvience.
^^ and $$ could easily do.
adding an expression anchor should not be a major complication.
