Annotation Type JawkRegexp

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(PARAMETER)
public @interface JawkRegexp

Marks an extension function parameter that takes a regular expression, so a regexp literal (/re/) supplied at that position keeps its precompiled Pattern instead of being evaluated as the boolean $0 ~ /re/ expression.

Callers may also pass dynamic strings, so the annotated Java parameter must be declared as Object and the implementation should fall back to compiling the string form.
