I guess you're referring to this one? -

# This silly example rule use the user-defined character class
# example ?1 above. It will prepend any hex-string of at least
# 4 digits within a candidate with 0x as well as with  \x like
# this:
#  'hello'   -> rejected
#  'alibaba' -> 'ali0xbaba' and 'ali\xbaba'
[List.Rules:Example]
%4?1vap2Aa"[\\0]x"

If so, that's not what I meant, although we should have removed it (feel
free to submit a patch such that we don't forget).

These examples are correct, right? -

# This is a couple of example classes:
# ?0 matches (one version of) base64 characters
# ?1 matches hex digits
# ?2 matches the TAB character (never try to use \x00!)
[UserClasses]
0 = [a-zA-Z0-9/.]
1 = [0-9a-fA-F]
2 = \x09

Hmm, did you implement the \x09 thing?  I am not sure.

I don't, at least not right now, sorry.

I think this confirms what I wrote above.

Thanks,
