 I would therefore like to posit that computing's central challenge, viz. "How
 not to make a mess of it," has /not/ been met.

>Description:
The regexp.h file seems like the following needs to be done
1. In reqexp.h on line 131, the expbuf was trying to
be converted to an unsigned character pointer from a
char *__restrict ponter without an explicit modifier/cast.

2. I believe that the macro calls from line 181 to 193 
that are RETURN calls should probably be calls to ERROR
call.

to an unsigned char pointer.

2. I believe that the calls to RETURN in regexp.h on lines
181 to 193 should  be calls to ERROR instead.
