Regular expression as a type

Description

I'd really love to see regular expressions handled in a similar way to how they are in JavaScript?, so that you could type /[a-z]+/i to automatically create a new instance of System.regex.

This would let you make, for example, a System.string|replace function that can accept either a string, or a regex: 

test = "Foobar";
test|replace(/[a-z]+/i, 'OOBAR')|print; # FOOBAR
test|replace('oobar', 'OOBAR')|print; # FOOBAR
