--- Comment #4 from Martijn Dekker <mcdutchie@hotmail.com> ---
Apple's branch of onetrueawk has supported ERE bounds (a.k.a.
interval/repetition expressions) since at least 2009, judging by the date s=
tamp
on their src/b.c in:
https://opensource.apple.com/tarballs/awk/awk-24.tar.gz

I reported this to NetBSD:
http://gnats.netbsd.org/53885

They swiftly integrated the ERE bounds code into their onetrueawk branch. T=
he
NetBSD diff can be seen at:

ae

I hope FreeBSD will follow suit and add this required POSIX feature as well.
