Fear not; POSIX standardization is not ignorant of significant 
implementations
like those from GNU.

For example, here is a literal quote from Issue 7 (2018) POSIX's awk 
page:

"The undefined behavior resulting from NULs in extended regular 
expressions allows future extensions for the GNU gawk program to process 
binary data."
