Gawk's regex has been fairly stable of late. But marking the revision
from which you take the regex is a good idea in any case.
With respect to bug fixes that may have happened downstream, please do
let me know of any. But I do request it as a bug report to bug-gawk@gnu.org
and not just a pull request with no commentary.
Thanks,
Arnold
