Item9826: add =~ to HoistRE so its not slower than using type='regex' - this limits its use to the documented System.RegularExpression

Priority:	CurrentState:	AppliesTo:	Component:	WaitingFor:
Normal	Closed	Engine

which means that although =~ is a re-implementation of Regex search, foswiki is evaluating the regex in Perl in a foreach loop over every topic.

this is pointlessly slow.

Item9839 contains further work that should have happened in 1.1, but is too intrusive to do in a 1.1.x patch.
