I already explained more than once that they don't need to bother.
Please re-read my messages, and if something is unclear, please ask
specific questions (but not the same ones you already asked).

There's no need to say things like that because FE developers won't
know what to do about it.

It returns the best approximation it can come up with.

The regexp I suggested does just that.  So why are we still arguing?
