The problem is that AppleScript makes it impossible to even define
a string with backslashes (without escaping them manually).
E.g. the statement:
set pattern to "/^\s*foo"
is rejected.
If you're doing such things, maybe you should consider using Smile.
In Smile, you write:
set pattern to /^\s*foo
then you select your string /^\s*foo, and you press cmd-" ("Make an
AppleScript string") to have it escaped.
