Description

\N currently uses _CharacterClassModel and is defined as an inverted newline sequence. However this doesn't seem correct as it shouldn't be affected by the options that change what \R matches. It seems like it ought to use emitAny() instead, as it should be identical to . except not being affected by (?s) (i.e never matching a newline).
