could someone please tell me if the following regexp, including the quotes, should ever match nine '-' signs between the quotes? well, obviously it shouldn't because there's no -- combination between the parentheses. it shouldn't match 9 characters at all, should it?
"----(-+|0-|00|0+)"
Behaviour is the same in 4 programs: AcmeSAC acme and grep; 9front acme and grep.

-+ means one or more - or am I losing my mind?
