in 2.4.0b3, `match' and `validate_regexp' call `regcomp' thus:

    if ((result = regcomp(&regc, regex,
			  REG_EXTENDED|REG_NOSUB|REG_NEWLINE)) != 0) {

in 2.4.0b4, this has changed to:

    if ((result = regcomp(&regc, regex,
			  REG_BASIC|REG_NOSUB|REG_NEWLINE)) != 0) {

is there a reason for not allowing extended re's?
