Comment (by knarf):

 Replying to [comment:2 rhaas]:
 > For all the "expected one of the following character" message from
 piraha: I would not include the surrounding pair of "[]" since a literal
 reading of the text would imply that "[" and "]" are allowed characters at
 this position. Ie the user should not need to know that regular
 expressions are at all involved in piraha (since this is an implementation
 details best hidden from the user).

 I agree in general, but the problem with that might be that these
 expressions aren't always as simple as a single [] construct, i.e., it is
 not always just a list of allowed (or not allowed) characters only.
