Hi,

I am currently working on a large compiler project, and I'm using PCRE regular
expressions for the grammar files.

I would like to request a escape code (like e.g., \X) specially for universal
character names, which are present on, at least, C, C++ and Java, and (as an
extension) I'm using for other programming languages as well.

The universal character name pattern would be equivalent to
/[$@`\xA0-\xD7FF\xE000-\xFFFF]/, according to the standards. If possible, a
second escape code without only for /[\xA0-\xD7FF\xE000-\xFFFF]/ (without $, @
and `) would be nice.


I really don't know which escape sequences are still available, so I can't
suggest one...


I would appreciate an answer for this request, it would help me a lot. :)

Thank you very much! :)
