That works as intended by 664d44ee7f (userdiff: > simplify word-diff safeguard, 2011-01-11). I misread the original RE. I thought it would lump multiple multi-byte characters together into one word, but it does not; sorry for that. It looks like your suggested replacement is behaviorally identical to the original after all, except perhaps for this one: > The new one doesn't match multi-byte whitespace anymore. but I did not find a reference that confirms it. I don't think we need to bend over backwards to keep this compatibility, though. -- Hannes
