--- Comment #1 from firas <firas.dib@???> ---
Another, somewhat related, issue is with quantifiers. The expression /a{123/
will match the string 'a{123' literally. However, if the number exeeds 65535,
the engine throws an unexpected error. This is expected to always be treated as
a literal unless a closing bracket is encountered.

In Perl, "a{65536" =~ m/a{65536/ matches fine. It throws a warning regarding an
unescaped bracket, but it matches none the less.
