Hi,
I know that this feature is not widening the power of Vim regexps.
Indeed, it is just to add some clarity.
Actually the backward compatibility is not a problem, since semi
columns in \{ } give a syntax error.
Thanks you for the advice though, it is something I did not even think of...
I'll see if I can get some time to dive into this...
I am still open to any comment about this.
Cheers,
