This round looks good to me, except for a small tiny (and new)
portability issue that needs fixing:

Good to get rid of this.

This is the new unportable code, the "-P" option is specific to GNU
grep, and here you're relying on the "?" syntax along with other
ERE-like syntax.

It looks like the minimal fix here is to just change -P to -E, which we
can use, you're not using any PCRE-syntax, but just syntax that's part
of ERE.
