    Two little questions:

    1. The abstract lists the implementations CL-PPCRE is known to work
       with. What am I supposed to add in this case? Something like
       "Genera (version x.y on Symbolics LispMachine ZZZ)", i.e. what's
       the official name and version number of the Lisp implementation and
       the OS you're using.

Genera 8.5.

    2. You mentioned there are a couple of issues with the tests due to
       different character encodings. Is there a short sentence I could
       add to the README file like: "Note that some tests will fail on
       Genera because characters like ... have encodings which differ from
       Perl's expectations?"

Return, Linefeed, and Tab.  There are others, such as Back-Space and
Page, but I don't think they appeared in the tests.

You also should mention the issue with ppcre's errors -- that
incomplete ANSI compatibility in Genera means that attempts to print
the errors will fail.
