In glibc regex, \Sw matches a nonspace followed by a 'w'. That is, it is
equivalent to [^[:space:]]w and it has a different meaning from the
decommissioned GNU regex meaning.
I'm assuming that the goal of gnulib/doc/regex.texi is to document the
regular _expression_ syntax implemented by glibc, grep, etc. Does that
match your assumption.
Yes. I'll revise the patch.
