28      <p>The high level wrapper class RegEx is now deprecated and does not form a part
29         of the <a href="http://anubis.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2003/n1429.htm">regular
30            expression standardization proposal</a>.&nbsp; This type still exists, and
31         existing code will continue to compile, however the following documentation is
32         unlikely to be further updated.</p>

36      <p>The class RegEx provides a high level simplified interface to the regular
37         expression library, this class only handles narrow character strings, and
38         regular expressions always follow the "normal" syntax - that is the same as the
39         perl / ECMAScript synatx.</p>
