Bug Description
In chapter 2.5.8. table Table 2.16 there must not be commas in the regular expressions unless comma is a valid character in that name component. Besides if '-' is valid, it should be the last one enumerated; otherwise it is a metacharacter. Also be more specific that these are POSIX Extended Regular Expressions. The bug occurs probably in all language versions, but I provide a patch for the English one.
Same valid characters apply in Ubuntu package naming, too, right?
