Re: Regexp compiler, problem with character classes

    Character classes are translated to character alternatives during the
    regexp compile phase. This is wrong, since the syntax table should be
    taken into account during the actual matching. This may be non-trivial
    to fix.

I think it is legitimate for a compiler to do early binding when
it is vital for optimization.  So let's just document this.
Would someone like to do that and ack?
