[PATCH 0/2] [RFD] Using gitrevisions :/search style with other operators

Let's start off from where the previous discussion [1] stopped. People seem to agree ref^{/regex} is a good choice. But we have not come to conclusion how to specify the count yet. Possible suggestions are

 - ref^{/foo}2
 - ref^{2/foo}
 - ref^{:2/foo}
 - ref^{2nd/foo}

For whatever syntax chosen, :/ should benefit too. I notice that :/! is reserved for future use. Perhaps :/!2/regex is not too cryptic?

I'd also like to do case-insensitive regex, by the way. :/!2i/regex looks a bit ugly.
