Syntax: Using \v (very magic) in patterns in syntax files

I have noticed that patterns in published syntax files never use the `\v`
(very magic) modifier. Is there any deeper reason than people's preferences
for this? Being used to Perl patterns I practically always use it and find
it hard to keep track of when to use backslashes when not using it. The
result is that more or less subtle errors creep in when I'm writing a
syntax file, so I'd prefer to use it unless it's a Really Bad Idea.
