Line 40:
I strongly suggest that just mentioning ''Unicode property support'' is far too broad a brush for usefulness. The most important thing is whether a regex system is or is not compliant with the requirements spelt out in [http://unicode.org/reports/tr18/|UTS#18's Unicode Regular Expressions]. This is quite specific about formal requirements, such as Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3. Suggestions? Standards compliance is easily referenceable through specific claims in each language's documentation.
 
Even mentioning whether things like <code>\w</code>, <code>\s</code>, and <code>\b</code> work with Unicode or whether thye're ASCII-only would be much more useful than the current column features. 17:50, 5 February 2010 (UTC) <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/98.245.82.12|98.245.82.12]] ([[User talk:98.245.82.12|talk]]) </span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
