Have a second optional argument to re-pattern that accepts modifier flags for the RegExp, being one or more of "i" "g" or "m". Otherwise it is impossible to programmatically construct modified regexes without using js/RegExp directly.

e.g.
> #"(?i)foo"
#</foo/i>

but
> (re-pattern "(?i)foo")
"Error evaluating:" (re-pattern "(?i)foo") :as "cljs.core.re_pattern.call(null,\"(?i)foo\");\n"
#<SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression: /(?i)foo/: Invalid group>
