Okay, I've added these two sub-patterns:
    { name = "Escaped Characters"; match = "\\."; },
    { name = "Arbitrary repetition"; match = "\\{\\d+(,\\d+)?\\}"; },

The first eats all escaped characters, so it'll now also work with:
    %r{foo\}bar}

The second eats the counted repetition construct you suggested.

There may still be a problem with { or } inside [] though.


Kind regards Allan
