Typo - I've meant make it an opaque object then sometime later turn .all implicitly. It would still have potential to break code so it seems that just make .all implicit is better.

The problem now should is addressed by this pull https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1470

There is matchAll/matchFirst calls now that are the prefered way to go about
matching. Currently they simply override global flag if present.
Returning to the original example:

foreach (c; text.matchAll("1|2|3|4")) //this spins over captures of each match
        write(c, " ");
writeln();

foreach (c; text.matchFirst("1|2|3|4")) //this spins submatches of 1st match
        write(c, " ");
writeln();

To me there is little else to do aside from slooowly deprecating old flag-based match/replace interface.

Flags are to be gone one day and "g" by default is not going to happen. This IMHO makes it won't fix.

Anyhow the core issue should now be addressed by using new API that is more clear.
