The old style is more suggestive and if you care about directionality,
they're a lot more concise.

I guess it's been a long time since I've read the man page for the
grep family. I didn't realize \b and \B were a part of Gnu grep.
PCRE does not seem to know \<, so \b is what you would want these

I know that. That's my lament.
\< and \> seem archaic, there does not seem to be a \<-based pattern
that could not be expressed with \b.
