Hello;

Is there any related standard (or in absence strong feelings)
about having \< and \> delimiters in regex expressions?

I have an old PR bin/153257 which actually comes from illumos:
https://www.illumos.org/issues/516

I don't use them but maybe it would help people moving their
scripts from Solaris.

Regards,

Pedro.
