REGULAR EXPRESSIONS
      POSIX.2  BREs should be supported, but they aren't completely
because of performance prob-
      lems.  The \n sequence in a regular expression matches the
newline  character,  and  simi-
      larly for \a, \t, and other sequences.
took that to mean it also understood \d
 

\n \t (and from some stage (ANSI?) \a) are C's standard way to insert 
"special characters" in
strings. \d is perl-ism.
