Thanks for explaining.  My suggestion was simply to have it all under
one node: "Regular Expressions".  The idea being that when you go
there, you probably also want to know how to use them.

The same goes for the index, IMHO.  But that's just how I imagine the
manual could be improved.

Agreed, my idea was to have them as subnodes.
