** Bug fixes
+ grep no longer mishandles patterns like [a-[.z.]], and no longer
+ mishandles patterns like [^a] in locales that have multicharacter
+ collating sequences so that [^a] can match a string of two characters.
+
grep -P now works with -w and -x and backreferences. Before,
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\1' would fail to match, yet
echo aa|grep -Pw '(.)\2' would match.
