Subject: What's the deal with character classes in regexps?
Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2007 10:56:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <85r6maxxd9.fsf@lola.goethe.zz> (raw)
If I do
C-u C-s [:ascii:]
I get matches for :, a, s, c and i.
That does not jibe with
(info "(elisp) Char Classes")
which is explicitly mentioned in
(info "(elisp) Regexp Special")
How come we have this feature _documented_ in full detail, but not
implemented?
