If there is a < at the start of a regexp, it needs to be escaped. If you want \< at the beginning of a regexp, you need to double escape the \ at the beginning. This is due to the fact that a < character at the beginning of the regexp has special meaning.

Any suggestions as to how/where to better document this, are welcome.
