[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Tassilo,

Ah, no, my concern is in the way how "\`" and "\'" are interpreted.  The
original regexp \`a5paper\|a5comb\' means
"\`a5paper" or "a5comb\'",
not
"\`a5paper\'" or "\`a5comb\'".
That is, \`a5paper\|a5comb\' matches with "a5paperXYZ" and "XYZa5comb"
while \`\(?:a5paper\|a5comb\)\' does not.

OK, the patch is attached at the last of this mail.
