[DFDL-WG] Clarification needed: regular expressions - does '.' match newlines by default?

[Mike Beckerle]

A key behavior distinction in regular expressions is whether the '.'
wildcard matches line endings or not.

Regular expression libraries can be configured, usually by some sort of
expression modifier, either way so that the '.' will not match a line
ending or so that it will.

Question is, how is it configured by default in DFDL regular expressions?

This is part of the overall issue of tightening up regular expressions as
part of DFDL. I.e., what exactly is the regex dialect, and how is it
configured by default.
