POSIX P1003.2 will require that expressions of the form:

   [[:space:]][[:space:]]*
   
be recognized, but that's probably not encouraging to you. At least
there's no invisible tabs.  I think \w would be helpful as an abbreviation
for this, and also agree that + notation on basic regular expressions
would be great.
