@VADemon I've basically borrowed the regular expression code from the JavaScript lexer (I left out the bits where it lexed mistakes as errors; I don't think checking syntactic correctness is necessary for our purposes here). I'm sure that I've got things wrong, though. Could you have a look and see where it can be improved? If anything is unclear, let me know! |

It fixes #1401.
