changequote([, ])

I didn't escape the / characters, but you can if you want (it's an egrep, so
it's not needed in the current case), but the presence of \., to disallow
periods, in the first [] is very important.  I also changed the [] around
the statement -- because of changequote, these needed changing too(!).
