patch(1) to disallow escaping random bits

Hi,

Please do an exp-run with the attached patch to disallow escaping of arbitr=
ary
ordinary characters in regex(3). This makes a smoother progression into the
future with GNU extensions where some ordinary characters are blessed with
special meaning. Only characters that actually have special meaning when
escaped are allowed.

This patch addresses some POSIX-declared implementation defined behavior.
