	We have a bug for it already; it's something about how we should
validate regexes. It would be pretty easy to do in 2.20; we'd just
modify sql_regexp.

	However, the problem is that the *database* is reporting that error,
not perl. And we have no particular way in perl to validate that a regex
will be valid for a DB.

	However, if anybody can think of some way to tackle it, it would be
certainly a welcome enhancement. :-)
