Description Nils 2011-12-20 04:05:53 UTC 
I think the pattern should be interpreted as CharacterClass('a', Range('-', 'b')), but currently it is interpreted as CharacterClass(Difference('a', 'b')):
---
string pattern = `[a\--b]`;
assert(match("-", pattern));
assert(match("b", pattern));
---

This also applies to the other set operators ("||", "&&", "~~").
