Using \? in BRE as a short-hand for \{0,1\} (or trying to use any
single regexp magic in BRE by adding a backslash when that magic is
only available in ERE) is a GNUism, isn't it?

We probably should rewrite the thing as ERE, perhaps like

	grep -E -h '^`?[a-zA-Z].*\..*`?::$' ...

Also, if we can avoid piping grep into sed or awk, we should do so,
when it does not lose readability.  Perhaps we can do something like

	sed -E -n -e '/... that pattern .../{
		/deprecated/d;
		s/::$//;
		...
	}' "$SOURCE_DIR"/Documentation/*config.adoc ... |
        sort |
	...

in this case?
