I don’t see much improvement that sigils make w.r.t top-level functions. They definitely make tooling trickier. Writing `Regex("haba")` instead of `~r/haba/` is only slightly more verbose, but way more readable. The only potential issue that one can see here is performance, e.g. that the function is being invoked at run-time, but there’s a much less intrusive way to solve that: <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-14652>

Yeah sure, the main point will be that, be able to create a constant regexp for example. Having the `r/reg/` would be cool syntaxis sugar (for me). But as I said in other thread I would be perfectly fine having `const val regex = sigil_r("whatever","i")`
