The overall patch I submitted had a number of commits, most of which 
shouldn't be controversial.  These were to fix typos and minor errors I 
discovered along the way.

So I'm attaching those patches again; please consider applying any or 
all that you're comfortable with.

All but the final one of this set are trivial patches, and I think 
should be added regardless of whatever else happens.

The patch file here numbered 6 is not trivial; it adds the semantics of 
unicode strings, but not the regex modifiers; with it \s and \w work 
with Unicode semantics when under use feature unicode_strings.  But any 
compiled regex will lose memory of that when compiled into another 
regex.  For that functionality we need to have modifiers specified, and 
what those will be isn't clear yet.  So I don't know if this one should 
be applied in isolation.  It would allow for smoking of the underlying 
functionality while we decide the UI for the modifiers.  It needs patch 
numbered 2 in order to not exceed array bounds.
