--- Comment #5 from Kyle Evans <kevans at freebsd.org> ---
So this is going to be totally craptastic... Perfect. Perhaps we should start
off with disallowing A-Za-z from being arbitrarily escaped, because this is
apparently going to be incredibly painful.

On the positive side, these failures are legit- either the escaping is too
heavy and make would have done the right thing, or make needed it but is still
passing the escape down through to regcomp.
