I think the issue you are talking about here is the result from (?.) It would be plausibly nice if ?. had a definition which is architecture and version independent. But that has not been the case and probably will not be the case. Already, there's too many variants out there for broad compatibility.
It might be best to replace (?.) with (?) so that people who understand the difference are not misled into false expectations.
