Well, on second thought I take the worries about crashes back.
These
are just character classes, same as any other.
The main question is how the character classes are constructed in
Mule.
Eg, you would hope that "^[[:word:]]+ [[:word:]]+$" would
match
"Hrvoje Nikšić" and "^半田 健一$", as well as "Steve Youngs".
Yeah, you'd hope, but unfortunately it fails miserably and only matches
"Steve Youngs". I guess we need to work on that.
It would be interesting to learn how GNU/Emacs copes with that
situation. Can somebody with a recent Emacs let me know?
