"Regular expressions (string, string1)" in z/OS ISPF Edit and Edit
Macros, SC19-3621-00 has descriptions of "+", "*" and "?" containing
the phrase "of the previous character"; that is very different from
their usual meaning and leaves open the question of what happens if I
write, e.g., "(subpattern)*". Is the text correct, or do those
characters actually operate on the previous subpattern, as in, e.g.,
Perl?
