Re: [bug #19977] Adding new function to grep

[Tariq Al-Omaireeni]

Hi there,
Regarding the bug  <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?19977> about grep and
Diacritics, I think that this bug should be upgraded to POSIX level rather
than writing a patch to grep. This will result in many advantages since it
will resolve the problem in grep and other commands.

1- Is it correct?
2- How to request that from POSIX?

Thank you in advance,
Tariq
