Could you clarify the situation with a (regression,compatibility,etc)test suite?
Is there any(i haven't found any neither in a downloaded stuff nor on website)?
I think such kind of thing is the first of must-be's for any regex project.
And i seem to be a voluteer to develop one, but need some help on what
to start from.
