We had a good discussion about issue #70 yesterday in the interim.
I promised to supply a PR.

It turned out that the work that is needed is to a large part reusable in other contexts.

So instead of writing the PR, I submitted a separate Internet-draft first.
This should supply the answer to the question what flavor of regexps we want to use:

https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-bormann-jsonpath-iregexp-00.html

If we like this approach (which certainly needs a bit more work, as we want to make sure we hit the right level of complexity), I can supply the PR that anchors this specification in the jsonpath specification.

Grüße, Carsten
