My rationale was: either it's already compiled, or it's not.  If it
is, there's no real hit.  If it isn't, let's compile it.  It doesn't
matter whether it's a reference to a compiled Regexp or some other
type of reference, you're saying
  blahblah =~ $regex
later on, so it's going to be stringified and compiled as a regexp
then anyway.
