Sounds reasonable.

I'm still not sure I am super-happy with /RE/ always being relative, though I see Junio's problem space as something worth solving. How does it interact with -L:RE? Do you now have to know in what order the functions appear in the source to correctly specify -L:foo -L:bar or similarly, -L/foo/,/^}/ -L/bar/,/^}/? What if we supported +/RE/ as the relative version?
