Note that repetition specification does work though...
foreach ( qw/foobar xyzzy/ ){ print "zz matches: $_\n" if /\Qz{2}/; }
P.S. \Q is a nice way of avoiding back-slashitis, except that it escapes
some things that aren't RE meta characters and cause TRE to croak
(notably ~). Including an overloaded version in the module would be a
nice feature.
