Between the square brackets ("[" and "]"), sorry.
Angle brackets ("[<" and ">") have no special meaning in PCRE (though
they're word boundaries in vim's very-magic regexps) while square
brackets note character classes as noted in "man perlre"
(I always chuckle when I see them called that; makes me want to do
something like '[[:paladin:]]*?' ... or in vim, '\v[[:paladin:]]{-}'
which looks for a very magical member of the "paladin" class in a group
that is not greedy. Too bad I can't also specify race. Maybe I can
create a race condition?)
