CAP_SEEK and CAP_MMAP_X might also be subject to this.  However, I'm not quite
understanding the regex, or at least why the modified portion of the regex isn't
something like this:

(CAPRIGHT\(|\(CAP_LOOKUP)

That is, you currently have [()A-Z_|[:space:]]+ for an expression that I think
will only ever match a single '(' character.

A more general form that might work for CAP_SEEK and CAP_MMAP_X might be
to match on 'CAP_<foo> | 0x<constant)', so something like:

(CAPRIGHT\(|\([^)]*CAP_[A-Z_]+ \| 0x[0-9]+)
