Not in the next couple of weeks.  I'll be abroad for a while.  Maybe in
October or November.  I put it on my TODO list.  The biggest problem is
that I know the BSD regex code pretty well, but the gnulib regex code is
very different.  I already had a look two weeks ago, but I have not
found the right place to mount surrogate pairs into it :(
