The above two examples are the same, per
(Table 9.21. Regular Expression Class-Shorthand Escapes)
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-matching.html#FUNCTIONS-SIMILARTO-REGEXP

my guess why 'foo0bar' will fail for 'foo[[[:digit:]][[:word:]]]_%';
1. process character 0, it does meet [[:digits]] character class.
2. process character b, it does not meet [[:digits]], then fails,
it won't check again whether character b is satisfied with [[:word:]] or not.
