retitle 348552 Please make regex(3) reference grep(1)
thanks

I'm afraid this bug was backwards, and I didn't notice until just now.
grep(1) has an excellent introduction to regexs.  Manpages already has a
couple bugs about regex(7); I would suggest that regex(7) SEE ALSO
grep(1), (satisfying #348552), and providing an arguably better
high-level-first introduction to the concept (addressing #379829).  I
found that regex(7) is more easily digested when read backwards.

Paul, is the grep(1) manpage section on regexs more to your liking?

Justin

An additional suggested text for regex(7):

Regular expressions are implemented and utilized by many programs,
including
.BR grep (1),
.BR ed (1),
.BR sed (1),
.BR perl (1).
(This might also mention that grep and sed are [mostly] line-based).
