================================================================
Dear Developers

I am now working on port nxml-mode to XEmacs, and as you may already
known that I had make all the nxml-mode code byte-compiled by XEmacs.

Now I want to make the code work correct under XEmacs. But after some
edebug work, I find out that nxml-mode code using a kind of never
documented char_class looks like:

	 (name-start-char "[_[:alpha:]]")
	 (name-continue-not-start-char "[-.[:digit:]]")
	 (name-continue-char "[-._[:alnum:]]")

And after chat with <kehoea> in #xemacs I know that, there's a very
easy way to support this kind of thing.  Here's some chat log
described what need to do in xemacs-core.

<kehoea> what part of the regexp syntax in particular?
<FKtPp> It used a kind of never documented regexp char-class form which
was supported in GNU Emacs
<FKtPp> looks like [_[:alpha:]]
<FKtPp> which, maybe, is the same as perl regexp [::alpha::]
<kehoea> yes. it's actually quite easy to change XEmacs to support them
<kehoea> an option in regex.h
<FKtPp>   (name-start-char "[_[:alpha:]]")
<FKtPp>   (name-continue-not-start-char "[-.[:digit:]]")
<FKtPp>   (name-continue-char "[-._[:alnum:]]")
<FKtPp> well you see, this is the actual code
<FKtPp> I even don't know what it want to match exactly..
<FKtPp> have to guess.. by looking the context -_-
<kehoea> yeah.
<kehoea> there's a line
<kehoea> #define RE_SYNTAX_EMACS RE_INTERVALS
<kehoea> in regex.h
<kehoea> if you change that to
<kehoea> #define RE_SYNTAX_EMACS (RE_INTERVALS | RE_CHAR_CLASSES)
<kehoea> and recompile, you can use those groups
<kehoea> those character classes, sorry

Could you please help enable this in the regex.h?

Thanks
FKtPp
