The point was to match one or the other as this was something that someone else wrote that's a valid regular expression in bracket notation that I executed on both FreeBSD and Linux. '\040' != '\011' and as such a space shouldn't be a drop in replacement for a horizontal tab. The PR was filed to note the discrepancy.
