The original test was trying to match the string fully, i.e.

As I already was feeling funny about seeing the phrase "file line"
in the message and expecting it to be corrected, I thought I should
encourage a check that does not depend on minor phrasing changes, if
it can be done without bending backwards.
I do agree with you that using "\|" in "grep" a pattern to trigger
ERE Alternation counts as "bending backwards" as that is a GNU
extension and not portable.
