I'm not using -current, but re_format(7) says  POSIX 1003.2 regular
expressions support both ^ and ? for BOL and EOL.  It would be very
un-NetBSD-like to include an awk that didn't conform to that page's
description.  Does the awk man page refer to re_format(7) or specifically
state that its re implementation is somehow different?
