Trying to describe regular expressions for use with the archive server, I just realized that arch_retrieve passes the regular expression unquoted to egrep. This means that regular expressions may not contain whitespace or shell meta characters. Is this intentional, or just a flaw?

PS: Shell meta characters seem not to hurt ([], (), and | work fine). How comes? Does flist unset IFS?
