We tried to create "External check" item with the following key:
http_extend[-t {$TIMEOUT} -u "http://{$HOST}/monitoring/monitoring.php?m=pearcache_time" -r '.*DATA: ([0-9a-f]+);']
http_extend[-t {$TIMEOUT} -u "http://{$HOST}/monitoring/monitoring.php?m=pearcache_time" -r ".*DATA: ([0-9a-f]+)"]
Zabbix refuses to store that key because of the appearance of the bracket - it complains :
ERROR: Cannot update item
Error in item key: incorrect usage of bracket symbols. '+' found after final bracket.
Especially for regexes this might be very useful 
The zabbix-frontend should ignore brackets in the parameters of the items....
