Description:
------------
Why are regular expressions mentioned in the section about double quoted string?
On what string do the regex operate on? Where are the results? Where is the example?

What could "foo \[0-7]{1,3}" mean? and why would any one write it?

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: language.types.string
