Im trying to provide aliases for #regex definitions so that humans would be able to understand things better scanning my coding.

However, an identifier as terse as `/[^\s\t_-\/\.=<>:]+/` becomes hideously long to describe in english descriptors.

Is there a midpoint reference or shorthand that could serve as a compromise?

I may just provide a vague numbered reference as a hack - but this obviously is ineligent and a recipe for bugs (should I label something else with the same nomenclature)
