True (I think) for the positive assertions, but:

[uri:/examples/*]
#matches entire app

[uri:/examples/(?!\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$)]
#matches everything except .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, .png

The entire purpose is to be able to _disallow_ certain mappings in the
already mapped application.
I'm afraid that the mod_proxy cannot be used for such a thing, cause the
first mapping will forcibly drive all the examples context through the
TC.
At first I was trying (before the pcre idea) to use the simple matching
like :

[uri:/examples/*]

[uri:!/examples/*.jpg]

...etc

This is can be parsed without using pcre (using apr_fnmatch), but what
about more complex schemas involving directories and file extensions,
not only files.
On the other hand, we can use the mod_rewrite/mod_proxy only with the
Apache, and we want to be portable thought.
