Standardising on one flavour across tools helps avoid such confusion,
and the Posix ERE convention is widely used amongst text tools. In vim
I'd then use either:
/\v[A-za-z0-9"]
or
/\v(\a|\d|") # OK, that uses extensions, but consistent grammar.
If it's necessary to use BREs ("nomagic"), in order to win a bet, then
just take out the \v and add the obfuscating backslashes which make BREs
such a pain, e.g.:
/\(\a\|\d\|"\)
