Two little questions:
1. The abstract lists the implementations CL-PPCRE is known to work with. What am I supposed to add in this case? Something like "Genera (version x.y on Symbolics LispMachine ZZZ)", i.e. what's the official name and version number of the Lisp implementation and the OS you're using.
Genera 8.5.
2. You mentioned there are a couple of issues with the tests due to different character encodings. Is there a short sentence I could add to the README file like: "Note that some tests will fail on Genera because characters like ... have encodings which differ from Perl's expectations?"
Return, Linefeed, and Tab. There are others, such as Back-Space and Page, but I don't think they appeared in the tests.
You also should mention the issue with ppcre's errors -- that incomplete ANSI compatibility in Genera means that attempts to print the errors will fail.
