Maybe the right phrase to use is "ispell regular expression". In any
case we need to document what the limitations are compared to "regular"
regular expressions (ahem). Do you know offhand what the rules are?
There is a fallback to regex if expression isn't supported by regis (see call
of RS_isRegis() in spell.c).
Regis supports only matches as is, range of characters ( [abc] ), negotiation of
characters range ( [^abc] ) and can match begin or end of string. AFAIK, ispell
allows full regex but in practice I never seen something unsupported by regis.
