Acme-InputRecordSeparatorIsRegexp

Use a regular expression as an input record separator.

In the description of the input record separator variable $/,
perlvar famously notes:

    Remember: the value of $/ is a string, not a regex. awk has to
    be better for something. :-)

This module attempts to get around that limitation, providing
a mechanism (using tied filehandles) to get the readline function
(and readline operator <...>) to define "lines" with respect to
a regular expression.

A common use case is to read a text file that you don't know
whether is uses Unix (\n), Windows/DOS (\r\n), or Mac (\r)
style line-endings, or even if it might contain all three.

Other use cases are files that contain multiple types of records
where a different sequence of characters is used to denote the
end of different types of records.
