So we've hit the true question: Should '.' behave the same way as [^\n] ? Who is going to write [^\n] if you can use '.' ? >From my point of view there is no use of [^\n] other than causing surprise. New arguments for keeping surprising [^\n] behaviour? Let's ask in a different way: Is there a use case for [^\n] like patterns at all (except that '.' which can be expressed as '.')?
