Thanks. That's better. But rather than replicating the regex specification
foe each UNIX Command and each utility, with errors propagating and
needing redundant corrections, it would be better if each had hyperlinks
to a single, thorough IBM specification comparable to the Open Group's
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap09.html#tag_09>
9. Regular Expressions
But, Conway's Law ...
(In vain hope, I perused Appendix C of the Unix Command Ref. SA23-2280-60
only to find two nearly identical copies of a woefully inadequate
specification.)
