This is not completely new. We have a similar problem for example with
TeX's math $...$ and with PostScript's strings (...(...)..).

My preference would be to think about it as a "multi-mode" case, and
hence make it possible to specify a different syntax-table to use within
the regexp.
I think of it along the lines of a new syntax-class, applied to the "/"
char, which would change the syntax-table for the subsequent text.
