[PATCH] Half Way There

This isn't a land-able patch, it is only for discussion. Its likely we should
refactor some areas of format printing.

For this bug, regexes where using _formatvalue and not _formatregex because it
was treating Proxied regexs as undecorated.  Also, _formatregex was actually
adding backslashes, not removing any!  The behavior after this patch is:
http://grab.by/Iwn

Note that there is a difference in string formatting. Is this the desired
behavior (different in multiple cases):

  > "test" // Case 1
  test

  > console.log("%s", "test")
  test

  > ["test"] // Case 2
  ["test"]

  > ({a:"test"})
  a : "hi"
