It doesn't need to so obviously paired; you just need some way to turn
it both on and off.

To me, the obvious choice is to follow perl's lead and use its
        (?magic-stuff-here)
syntax.  In particular, an embedded
        (?i)
turns on case-insensitive matching till the next close-paren or the end
of the regexp, while
        (?-i)
turns it off for the same region.

Perl support may other types of "magic stuff" with that syntax.  The
interested reader is refered to the perlre(1) manpage.
