@ page 167 line 5889 section Regular Expressions objection {eggert20020430a}

Problem:

Defect code :  3. Clarification required

The Regular Expressions section
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html#tag_09>
does not reflect the resolutions of the June 1995 POSIX RE experts meeting
as reported by David Korn in

Action:

Adopt the interpretations of the June 1995 POSIX RE experts meeting as
referenced above, with the exceptions of the I18N interpretations
(i.e, those interpretations starting with Interp #41, Part 7 and
continuing to the end of the meeting notes).  The I18N interpretations
are now somewhat obsolete, since that part of the standard was changed
in POSIX 1003.1-2001.  However, the other interpretations are to parts
of the standard that have not changed, so they are still relevant.
