bug: Mikrotik script regex fails to support POSIX character classes like [:digit:]

binary operator that matches value against POSIX extended regular expression

Part of http://www.regular-expressions.info/posixbrackets.html Basic Regular Expressions is support for POSIX Bracked Expressions http://www.regular-expressions.info/posixbrackets.html like Character Classes.

That fails at first try: `[:digit:]` isn't supported.

[jeroenp@MikroTikCCR1009] > :put ("1"~"[:digit:]") 
false
[jeroenp@MikroTikCCR1009] > :put ("1"~"[0-9]")       
true

@Mikrotik: please document what portions of the POSIX extended regular expressions are support and what portions are not supported.
