Minor regexp oversight for setext headings

[Angie Ahl]

Oi.

All due respect,

If you're going to correct/flame people publicly at least have to  
politeness to point out/qualify what you're saying eg chapter or page  
number otherwise you come across as an ignorant troll with no social  
skills.

Unless of course you are an ignorant troll in which case please  
disregard this message. I was under the impression you weren't but I  
could be wrong.

And I've read the book about 5 times by now so I'd really appreciate  
you qualifying what you say to the list for the benefit of the list  
as I'm pretty sure you're mistaken.
