I'd agree with that - it isn't as though it really matters except to
people looking for obscure things to test - the \d form of "anything
can be the delimiter" in practice is used with delims like ! or | or
; (etc) - not with alphas (though \x I have seen on occasion) and
certainly not with the chars where \x in other places means something
different from x (or an escaped x).
Making it unspecified seems like a reasonable think to do, even if the
GNU people do decide that their \n behaviour is a bug.
