Regexp(6) handles "characters" that are runes. I wonder if Plan9 developers, when trying to design a way towards some localization, have ever thought of bytes (octets) regexp, that is using regexp with not rune but octets strings (maybe UTF-8 as is) allowing to use regexp with binary too, not only newline terminated chunks etc.?
