I wouldn't say proprietary, I'd say incomplete.  Perl's Regular
Expressions are extremely powerful and complex, from what I've seen.  I
get lost pretty quickly looking at the full documentation for them, but
the perlrequick or perlretut man pages are pretty simple, yet still
incomplete.

I guess the CF team decided they could please most developers with a
subset of Perl's syntax, and I'd say I have yet to find a problem that
CF's regex wouldn't solve, in my limited experience.  :)
