Hello. Thanks for cluing me into the discussion.

I think that most or all of the changes are in gnulib's regex, but the gnulib regex has too many changes (Idx instead of int everywhere, to name the main one) for me to be willing to try and figure it out. I think it will be actually easier to merge my changes in and then compare to gnulib, but that's up to you. > I agree that syncing first with gnulib is the way to go. Not in my humble opinion, but I'm not doing the work.

I won't ping about this again until mid- or late January. I do appreciate that the trend is to merge with gnulib; that will ultimately be a good thing so I am encouraged by it. Thanks, Arnold
