Then you don't need any weird prefixes.  Besides, `regex:foo` is a valid filename so if we're going to be making it so that some arguments to `-f` all of a sudden have to be escaped because they're no longer interpreted literally, then we might as well do it in a way that's intuitive and people are already familiar with.


The problem with -f and -s is that they create FileSpec's, and FileSpec has some special handling for paths, so I'm not sure how to handle this without a prefix.  Is there a delimiter that's invalid on all platforms?  I thought ':' would work since we use it for path delimiters, but I've only got a Mac to test on right now.  I suppose we could get really ugly and use a uri style prefix, e.g., "regex://".

In any case, I think it's worth exploring a solution that doesn't require a lot of api changes.
