Re: repeat limited regexp?

Actually, that could be fixed with a variable:

LEGACY = yes

If set to yes, the default if unset, braces need to be escaped to function
as multiple match controls.  If set to no, it would function the other
way.

The same could (probably better) be acomplished with a commandline option.

If it ever does, it will have to be of the form \{n,m\} so as not to break any
current recipes where unsescaped braces are in regexps are to be taken
literally.  So technically, it may have that function some day but it will
never have that construct.
