Hello All,

I'm trying to implement java.util.Scanner.nextInt, which requires a 
regular expression pattern to represent  "Integer". I find it's hard to 
express /NonASCIIDigit /because now Harmony regex does not support 
/NonASCIIDigit/.

As our regex has supported "\p{javaLowerCase}     Equivalent to 
java.lang.Character.isLowerCase()", to facilitate the development of 
j.u.Scanner, shall we provide support for "\p{javaDigit}", which is 
equivalent to java.lang.Character.isDigit()? I could provide patch for 
this feature if there is no objection. Thanks lot.

*/<QUOTE>
NonASCIIDigit  :: = A non-ASCII character c for which 
Character.isDigit(c) returns true

Non0Digit  ::= [1-Rmax] | NonASCIIDigit

Digit  ::= [0-Rmax] | NonASCIIDigit

GroupedNumeral  ::  = ( Non0Digit Digit? Digit? ( LocalGroupSeparator 
Digit Digit Digit )+ )

Numeral  ::= ( ( Digit+ )  |  GroupedNumeral )

Integer  ::= ( [-+]? ( Numeral ) )  |  LocalPositivePrefix Numeral 
LocalPositiveSuffix  |  LocalNegativePrefix Numeral LocalNegativeSuffix/
