+By default, this module exports a single hash (`%RE') that stores or
+generates commonly needed regular expressions. Patterns currently
+provided include:
+
+ * balanced parentheses and brackets
+ * delimited text (with escapes)
+ * integers and floating-point numbers in any base (up to 36)
+ * comments in C, C++, Perl, and shell
+ * offensive language
+ * lists of any pattern
+ * IPv4 addresses
