Also remember that Guile uses the system C library regex routines.  And is using C strings, not Guile strings.

Subject: bug#57507: Regular _expression_ matching depends on locale encoding

Regular expressions do funky things with Unicode if a non-Unicode-aware
locale is set. Yet, they're purely string operations, so I don't think
it's expected that they depend on the locale encoding.
