* SUMMARY: Unescaped, unbalanced parens in a regexp should cause SyntaxError.
*
* The same would also be true for unescaped, unbalanced brackets or braces
* if we followed the ECMA-262 Ed. 3 spec on this. But it was decided for
* backward compatibility reasons to follow Perl 5, which permits
*
* 1. an unescaped, unbalanced right bracket ]
* 2. an unescaped, unbalanced left brace {
* 3. an unescaped, unbalanced right brace }
*
* If any of these should occur, Perl treats each as a literal
* character. Therefore we permit all three of these cases, even
* though not ECMA-compliant. Note Perl errors on an unescaped,
* unbalanced left bracket; so will we.
*
