What would it match, exactly ?  There are many different possibilities with
very different behavior: match a string different from "string"; match a
string which does not include "string" as a submatch; match the empty string
if it is not followed by a string that matches "string"; ...

I don't understand what you want here.  How is that different from
"dog\\|cat\\|turtle" ?
