Description:
On the all_modules bash functions, 'grep' is used and this limits the user to basic regular expressions (as opposed to extended regular expressions). Changing 'grep' to 'egrep' would suffice.

${@} is passed to grep, so you can add a "-E" option to your regular expression which switches grep to egrep. I don't know if this function is run from the initcpio module or from the host system, but I can imagine that the initcpio version of grep doesn't have PCRE support.

Oh ok, didn't think of that. Sorry.
You can close this then.
