--- Comment #11 from Rich Bowen <[email protected]> ---
Y'know, the more I look at this, the more I think this is wrong. This patch
implies that '!' is separate from "the pattern" - ie, the regular expression -
and it is not. the '!' is part of the regex.

Meanwhile, the part of the doc that starts with "the NOT character", also seems
to suggest that ! is somehow part of mod_rewrite's logic, when, in fact, it's
just a usual part of the pcre engine.

I think a better approach here is to link to the Regular Expression overview in
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/intro.html#regex rather than
duplicating the explanation here.

I really think that what we need to do here, therefore, is remove this block
(the bit that starts with "the NOT character" and link over to the "Regex
vocabulary" section in /rewrite/intro.html

I'm also considering splitting off that section into a separate regex.xml doc
in that directory, but that's a larger project and beyond the scope of this
ticket.
