The point is, that geeks are not necessarily the outcasts
society often believes they are. The fact is that society
isn't cool enough to be included in our activities.

They are the same for the ~ operator, and should be listed at the reference page
for regular expressions...

http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/functions-matching.html#FUNCTIONS-POSIX-REGEXP

Note that those are probably a little different from previous releases because
the regex engine has been changed.
