I think I've borrowed this from an example in the regexp's
documentation:

  regexp {\mfoo(?!bar\M)(\w*)} $string -> restOfWord

Admittedly, in the foreach case this does not look as nicely.  So I will
change it to "-", as suggested.

OK, all existing register and reggroup names consist wholly of
alphanumeric and underscore characters.  So I will change the pattern as
suggested.

Yes.  And looking at it again, I think that this pattern should be more
consistent with the one above and match the whole beginning of a line.
Thus I will rephrase it to {^\s+\d+\s+(\w+)}.  In this way the command
can add more columns in the future without having to adjust the pattern
here.

Thanks.  Will push this then with changes below.

Great, that looks good.

Thanks again for doing this.

Hi.
I'm seeing the following new failure on amd64-linux:

(gdb) complete info registers ^M
info registers ah^M
info registers al^M
...
info registers ymm9^M
info registers ymm9h^M
(gdb) FAIL: gdb.base/completion.exp: complete 'info registers '
