regex! docs should have an example of using # for raw string literals

[jfager]

Raw strings aren't the heaviest advertised feature of Rust, and users of raw strings in some other languages might be surprised at how " characters need to be handled.

Anyone on this one ? If not I'm on it ;)

[gamazeps]

It's a bit tougher than expected ...
Not on it for now ;)

In the first section, it has this paragraph:

This example also demonstrates the utility of raw strings in Rust, which are just like regular strings except they are prefixed with an r and do not process any escape sequences. For example, "\d" is the same expression as r"\d".

Is this not enough? What do you suggest?

[jfager]

Raw strings with quotes have to be bounded with #, like r#""hello""#.
This isn't immediately obvious, especially for someone coming from, say,
Python. An example showing this usage explicitly or a link to raw string
documentation would be nice.
