Just chiming in from the peanut gallery - I agree. The original
assertion that there are "as many syntaxes of regex as there are
implementations" is [citation needed]. PCRE is standard...and
inventing a new syntax isn't a good solution anyway.
The few real variations in syntax are only at the edges (how do you
specify case-specific, how do you specify negative look-ahead?) The
core regex syntax of wildcard matching is absolutely standard.
