I was wrong. Gawk doesn't have --with[out]-included-regex. Maybe at one point it did, but no longer. > But we do have control over gnulib, and the current choice there > already doesn't match glibc's (strcoll-order doesn't always match > glibc's collation equivalent ordering), so there's good reason to > switch at least gnulib. Makes sense. It'd be nice to see some convergence amongst the three different regexes, but I don't have the energy to tackle this. Thanks, Arnold
