Actually, pkg_info(1) has -G for strict matching too.  As you said, the
-X flag was already taken for pkg_create(1) which is why I chose -E,
which is used by many other userland applications to enable extended
regexp matching (grep, sed...).

It would be indeed nice to have all those sorted out and unified
throughout the pkg_* tools.  Seems like Kirill has already volunteered
for that task anyways :-).
