Comment (by tbode):

 Ah, I had not made clear in my comments that the case .* alone is treated
 specially to specify a global tolerance at that (thorn/test) level.  It is
 not counted when considering how many extra regular expressions have
 matched.

 As to the anchor, the expression in the test.ccl file should be the entire
 regular expression sans slashes: /$expr/  and as such if you want the
 expression to be anchored, it must be specified there.  I would not want
 to place a ''hidden'' anchor to be added to the expression as then the
 expression in the test.ccl file is misleading, especially if the developer
 does not want an anchor.

 The current patch that I'm about to upload takes only the ''first'' match
 (beyond the default .* case).  The developer is required to place any
 anchor in her regular expression.  The new menu item (P) prints a
 tolerance table for the last test run so a developer can quickly see which
 tolerance was used for which file.  (The first point is the only thing I
 just now changed).
