For sure! 

My comments were more on the fact that the original code isn't compatible
with platforms that need aligned data and that a patch is available. I also
attached to the issue mentioned a test unit for SynRegExpr that is a
combination of Andrey Sorokin's tests in his original package and the tests
in regexpr/examples/testreg1.pp.
