Thanks for explaining it to me.
So we've hit the true question:
Should '.' behave the same way as [^\n] ?
Who is going to write [^\n] if you can use '.' ?
From my point of view there is no use of [^\n] other than causing
surprise.
New arguments for keeping surprising [^\n] behaviour?
Let's ask in a different way: Is there a use case for [^\n] like
patterns at all (except that '.' which can be expressed as '.')?
