Are we talking about its inclusion or whether it is stable in R12B? Here
is my Debian Lenny system with stock erlang (R12B-3):
--
Erlang (BEAM) emulator version 5.6.3 [source] [64-bit] [smp:4]
[async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V5.6.3 (abort with ^G)
1> Foo = "Hello World! 122.42".
"Hello World! 122.42"
2> re:compile("[0-9].[0-9]").
{ok,{re_pattern,0,0,
<<69,82,67,80,122,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,
...>>}}

In the readme[1] for the version I'm running, OTP-7181 indicates it is
introduced (experimentally at least?) in that version.
