For example, in regis.c there are several strings talking about "regis
pattern". I had never heard of regis patterns. Turns out they are a
fast regex subset, used AFAICT only by the ispell code. Searching the
web I don't find any other reference to "regises" (regisen? reges?), so
I think we should avoid using the term. How about just changing the
messages to just say "regular expression" instead?
It's just a combination of "regular expression for ispell". It implements
subset of regex. It much faster that any other implementation, and uses subset
widely used in ispell.
