That's why I mentioned extensions. glibc has many GNU extensions to
POSIX APIs, both in the form of extended semantics of existing APIs
and new-but-similar APIs; I was wondering whether it might be more
profitable in the long run to add functionality such as backwards
searching and syntax options as extensions to the POSIX APIs rather
than force developers to choose either POSIX or GNU (or, more likely,
add the missing functionality to a more commonly-used package such as
PCRE).
