      This seems to be a regression from the fix of SERVER-15235.

      The problem with this fix is that, even when I have a regular expression that has a left-anchor and an escaped '|' character, that query is recognized as being "non-simple".

      This is wrong, and it causes unnecessarily that backwards compatibility is broken and performance is significantly degraded. See SERVER-22872 and SERVER-22890.
