Not only that, but it's not really compatible with GNU. The new library is only compatible with the regex library available with Emacs 18.57, but GNU's regex library has since been extensively modified to be POSIX-compatible (or nearly so--I'm not sure). Notably, it now has support for intervals and for the POSIX library functions regcomp, regexec, regerror, and regfree. The new library doesn't have these (I checked). inews: .signature deleted--no humor detected
