        Basically, some of the collating-element underbrush got
        cleaned out.  For example, in the old POSIX, [^[:alpha:]]+ was
        required to match "aa" in a Danish locale, since "aa" is a
        collating element that is not an alphabetic character.  The
        new POSIX does not require this: it gives implementations more
        freedom to "do the right thing" (and thus it can make life
        harder on application writers :-).

Wonderful.  That's actually an improvement.  I'll have to read the
details, but it sounds like Rx actually becomes more accurate as a
result of this change, not less.

I hope I'm not salting anybody's wounds, but Plaugher's comments on
these matters in "The Standard C Library" are pretty explanatory.
