  So when were REs first designed and implemented? I
would imagine that
 they came about as a way to extend the old '*' and '?' wildcard
syntax,
 but that is only a guess. 
I would suspect in the context of editors, not command file-naming. Don't
have time to research it, though. Try checking CTSS, early Multics, etc.
