Thank you for that explanation.
It follows, then, that the second set of examples in section 6.3.15.3 of
the F&O spec are incorrect. More precisely:
xf:matches(., "Kaum.*krähen", "m") returns true (example 2)
xf:matches(., "^Kaum.*gesehen,$", "m") returns false (example 3)
I suspect the source data should contain a newline immediately following
'gesehen,' as that would solve these problems.
Cheers,
Jennifer
