> Is the libc regex code POSIX-compliant and locale-aware?

Nearly impossible to prove since nobody is quite sure what the POSIX
specification for regexps actually means.

Perhaps the right way to ask that question is: Could you formulate an
argument that makes the wording in POSIX agree with what the libc
regex code does?
