     - [^set] or [!set] matches any character not in the set.
     - {X|Y|Z} or {X,Y,Z} matches any one of the subexpressions literally.
     - \\x quotes the character x so it has no special meaning.
-    - x all other characters must be matched exactly.
+    - x all other characters are matched "exactly" on a \b case-insensitive basis.

+    Notes:
+    - \p s and \p p are matched on a char/byte basis, not as UCS codepoints or UTF-8 sequences.
+    - [set] ranges must run from low to high, i.e. [a-z] and not [z-a]
+    - [set] comparison is \b case-sensitive, i.e. [a-z] won't match "A".
