Comment (by robic@…):

 {{{
 Error: Regex Construction ..

 Invalid range end in character class

 '[A-Z-<<<HERE>>>.]+'
 }}}

 In Perl, this compiles fine.\\

 The dash here **''A-Z`-`.''** is ambiguous, it should be seen as a
 literal,\\
 not a range operator.\\

 Not all engines track this, but it is simple to do.
