Nack. This was changed in 4.50-2 in response to bug #273302. I
neglected, however, to adapt the docs. Probably you have noticed the
change in 4.50-6 when formatting of the ACL files was re-worked.

If the discussion in #273302 doesn't give enough rationale, please ask
again.

I have taken your report as motivation to move the two regexps to
macros to allow for easy local changes, and to adapt the docs.

Greetings
Marc
