Ugh, you're right. Cream is hammering the slashes regardless of
whether the regexp option is selected or not.

Try the attached in place of the default file by the same name. Regexp
will work like usual Vim (you must use \r for returns in the replace
string). Please report back, and if it works for you I'll also update
search and multi-file replace with the same fix.
