Going by that logic, might they not expect a lot more? (Say, if all
they know about regexps is PCRE, for example.) Intuition says that it's
enough to specify "POSIX extended regular expressions", because they're
a very clearly defined type of regexp. (Don't be fooled by the word
"extended", POSIX rigorously defines a type of regexp called "extended
regular expressions", aka ERE.)
