Yea looks like Postgres has it right, well.. per POSIX standard anyway.
JavaScript also has it right, as does Python and .NET. Ruby is just weird.

Our regex documentation lists the following variants of bounds syntax:
{m}
{m,}
{
Yea seems right. I was testing the expression on Rubular (Which uses the
Ruby parser) and it worked. I guess Ruby allows this non-standard
expression with the missing lower bounds. Every reference I could find,
though, agrees only the upper bound is optional.

src/backend/regex/re_format.7 contains the whole scoop (for some reason
this page doesn't seem to get installed with the rest of the
