Hmmm, well, aehh, but the binding operator =~ doesn't have anything to do
with REs at all.
Of the top of my head there are only three operators/functions which use
REs:
    - split
    - s
    - m
I'm sure someone will jump in if I forgot one.

Note: glob() and its relatives don't use REs but shell wildcards.
