This is a bug report for perl from khw@​khw-xps-8930.(none),
generated with the help of perlbug 1.41 running under perl 5.29.10.

---

As a result of changes to [perl #133988], a diagnostic should be
reworded to correspond, but it's too late to change in 5.31, so this is
deferred until 5.31.

The diagnostic should be something like

=item \N{} here is restricted to one character in regex; marked by <--
HERE in m/%s/

Do you mean "it's too late to change in 5.30" and "deferred until 5.30.1"?

The diagnostic should be something like

=item \N{} here is restricted to one character in regex; marked by <--
HERE in m/%s/

Patch/branch? (We could merge it later.)

We're not allowed to change things this late in the development process
that would harm a correctly functioning program. I view that as
including rewording diagnostics, as someone might be relying on the
precise wording.

=item \N{} here is restricted to one character in regex; marked by <--
HERE in m/%s/

It's not too late to change in 5.31, only in 5.30.
