in thread regex in list context

I think this explains why I don't like using !~. Ages ago, it "didn't do what I expected" and I learned from this only "don't use !~". Time passed, and I forgot what I was trying to do that didn't work, but I was still avoiding !~ in places it might have worked. I think this just might explain where my superstition came from.

Thank you!
