regex escapes

[spir]

Hello,

Which characters are to be escaped:
* inside [] classes
* outside such classes
?

Also, is there for D regexes a free form format (where whitespace can be used 
to present formats more legibly, but must be escaped as literals)?

This is a comment in a regular expression: (?#comment)

The text, comment, can be replaced with anything including whitespace. 
 The comment is terminated with ).


Oh, never mind.  I just tested this.  std.regex doesn't support regex 
comments, apparently.  :(

Though you are probably asking specifically about D:

http://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html

std.regex doesn't follow everything so testing usually must be done with D. 
There is no place to find what isn't supported by D. Filing bugs is of course a 
good choice.
