title: Shorthand for matching identifier with Visual Studio regex
body: <p>Since VS2013, VS uses then .NET regex syntax, which is more standard and that is a good thing. </p>
  
  <p>However, I haven't been able to find a shorthand for matching identifiers, which previously was <code>:i</code>!</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2k3te2cs(v=vs.110).aspx" rel="nofollow">MSDN</a> says that <code>:i</code> was replaced by <code>\b(_\w+|[\w-[0-9_]]\w*)\b</code> ... so does <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/2k3te2cs.aspx" rel="nofollow">this short reference</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Is there really no shorter version?</p>
