Summary: contradicting statements about the any char class in manual
Initial Comment:
Section 6.3 of the manual says about the ANY character class:
Another simple SRE is the symbol any, which matches any single
character -- including newline and ASCII nul.
while a note in section 6.4 says:
{Note There is no way to include the ASCII NUL character in a
character set or search for it in any other way using regular
expression. This is because the POSIX regexp facility is based on
the C language which uses ASCII NUL to terminate strings.}
I guess that the latter behavior is true:
