> Which would you prefer as default symbol from each of these sets?

  one-or-more
  zero-or-more
  zero-or-one
  repeat
  repeat
  any
  not-newline
  group
  line-start
  line-end
  string-start
  string-end
  word-start
  word-end
  sequence
  or
  regexp

for readability in the worst case use case where an end-user/person
operates the patterns fewer than five times a year, year after year,
in an ETL scenario.
