In my minimal change response, I avoided this issue.  There is an  
enhancement in Revolution 2 that expanded capabilities.

Alex has reason to believe that this is exactly what it has:

http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt

Ken Ray has also mentioned this reference:

http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.6.1/pod/perlre.html

I fully expect Revolution 2 documentation to catch up and provide a  
good pointer and provide a caveat as to the completeness of its  
description.
