Does ksh ~(E) support word boundaries \< and \>? I have tried lengthy
to get it working but I only receive failures.

As example I tried this expression to match three words with the \<
and \> word boundaries but instead \1 captures the whole string:
x="hello 12 world" ; y="${x/~(Elr)\<(.+)\>\<(.+)\>\<(.+)\>/\1}" ;
printf "%s\n" "$y"
hello 12 world

I need an example which works, and if ~(P) supports word boundaries I
need an example here, too.
