Currently, regular expression patterns have to be escaped as Rego only supports strings. This makes it somewhat annoying to write policies that depend on regex:

> re_match("\\s\\d\\s", " 1 ")

We should introduce support for regex literals or raw strings so that users can enter patterns without escaping the pattern contents.

This allows for easier construction of regex patterns, as things don't
need to be double escaped.
