(defconst woman-request-regexp "^[.'][ \t]*\\(\\S +\\) *"
  ;; Was "^\\.[ \t]*\\([a-z0-9]+\\) *" but cvs.1 uses a macro named
  ;; "`" and CGI.man uses a macro named "''"!
  ;; CGI.man uses ' as control character in places -- it *should*
  ;; suppress breaks!
  ;; Could end with "\\( +\\|$\\)" instead of " *"
