 Yes, but then we really need some RE syntax description. I'd prefer to
just put in a link to some page somewhere but I didn't find anything in 30
seconds of googling. Maybe we can put re_syntax man page on wxwigdets.org
and link there?

 To be honest I have no idea. I tried reading src/regex/regc_locale.c but
got lost, it would be probably simpler to just test it.
