I'd like to ask: 1) Does anyone have any strong feelings about me hacking it? 2) Can anyone point me to recent regex standards? Our grep (GNU grep) supports a different syntax than our library. While that's normal for GNU add-ons, there are some stuff they *don't* support, or support with a different syntax. It got me wondering... At the very least, references to grep(1) ought to be removed from regex(3). -- Daniel C.
