"There are several varieties of regular expressions; by default this test uses
POSIX basic regular expressions, but this can be changed with the option
‘-regextype’. "

The above is incompatible with

‘emacs’

    Regular expressions compatible with GNU Emacs; this is also the default
behaviour if this option is not used.

which one is correct, I do not know :)
