122    23. PCRE was behaving differently from Perl in the way it recognized POSIX
123        character classes. PCRE was not treating the sequence [:...:] as a
124        character class unless the ... were all letters. Perl, however, seems to
125        allow any characters between [: and :], though of course it rejects as
126        unknown any "names" that contain non-letters, because all the known class
127        names consist only of letters. Thus, Perl gives an error for [[:1234:]],
128        for example, whereas PCRE did not - it did not recognize a POSIX character
129        class. This seemed a bit dangerous, so the code has been changed to be
130        closer to Perl. The behaviour is not identical to Perl, because PCRE will
131        diagnose an unknown class for, for example, [[:l\ower:]] where Perl will
132        treat it as [[:lower:]]. However, PCRE does now give "unknown" errors where
133        Perl does, and where it didn't before.
