On the subject of \b I'll note we do have \W and \w

So we do, I overlooked that. And we define it a little differently from
Perl:

[#x0000-#x10FFFF]-[\p{P}\p{Z}\p{C}]

So for example "+" is regarded as part of a word, while "-" isn't. Which
strikes me as totally useless, to be honest.

I agree.

We could fix that for XPath 2.1 I think.  I'm not sure what the most
useful fix would be, I admit.

The Perl definition of "alphanumeric" plus "_" would probably work for
\w, if one took alphnumeric to mean Letters|Numbers, \p{L}|\p{N},
and is coincidentally closer to what you get in Perl if you do
     use locale;
and your locale is (say) en_UK.UTF8, as it's then the same as
the POSIX fragment [[:alpha:][:digit:]_]

There are lots of things that could be added to regular expressions;
but \b is hard to emulate, useful, and also we seem to have a rather
odd \w.  If \w is there, I think \b was omitted by mistake.  Or that
\w was included by mistake!
