This is largely academic for me -- I have better platforms than ISPF for
regex processing.  But what I'd find most important is an accommodation
for regexen in Edit macros that's portable among subject code pages.
It would be an unsatisfactory approach to say that a macro must first
be translated to the subject code page to be used; better to require that
macros be in a uniform DBCS Unicode page and accommodate editing
text in an arbitrary subject code page.
