-Oniguruma is a regular expressions library.
-The characteristics of this library is that different character encoding
-for every regular expression object can be specified.
+Oniguruma is a modern and flexible regular expressions library. It
+encompasses features from different regular expression implementations
+that traditionally exist in different languages. It comes close to
+being a complete superset of all regular expression features found
+in other regular expression implementations.
+
+Its features include:
+* Character encoding can be specified per regular expression object.
+* Several regular expression types are supported:
+ * Oniguruma (native)
+ * POSIX
+ * Grep
+ * GNU Regex
+ * Perl
+ * Java
+ * Ruby
+ * Emacs
