Thanks.  Sorry to be so precise, but the changelog entry is not 
entirely correct.  The old regex colored "$-" correctly -- it 
colored all of "$! $@ $# $$ $* $_ $- $?" correctly, at least on 
Gentoo -- but then also mistakenly colored "$= $+ $/ $< $> $, $."  
On Ubuntu it produced an error instead:

  Error in /etc/nanorc on line 52: Bad regex 
  "address@hidden": Invalid range end

But only when using a utf8 locale, not with the C locale.

Attached patch suggests a different wording for the changelog entry.
