Issue 7.44 in n1837 states that the non-ECMAScript syntaxes are optional, but it
suggests that they should be made mandatory or omitted.  I can't find anything
in TR1 that says they are optional.  The proposed resolution to TR1 Regex issues
(n1623) doesn't seem to say anything about non-ECMAScript syntaxes being
optional, and these syntaxes are certainly mentioned in the current TR1 draft
(n1836).

All this suggests that all regex syntaxes mentioned in TR1 are mandatory, but
the comment in issue 7.44 in n1837 makes me worry that I have overlooked or
misunderstood something.  Can somebody please let me know whether non-ECMAScript
regex syntaxes are required by TR1?

Thanks,

Scott
