The global nature of the regex's use have significant potential for side effects and must be handled in a plugin vs. a theme in order to support activation (i.e. flushing rules.)

The flushing of rules is optional. You can achieve the same thing by
telling the user to resave their permalink settings. This just
eliminates the need for that.
