Comment (by knarf):
Or in other words: I suspect Piraha "knows" at that moment only that some input didn't match a specific regular expression. It doesn't "know" that that particular regular expression might have been a quite simple one. We could add a check for that just for the sake of error messages, but would it be worth it? One also would need to remove the escape for "[", and possibly parse other stuff inside the regular expressions, e.g., a leading "^".
