Hi,

Browsers seem to allow { and } to occur in regexps unescaped, if the position does not conflict with their use as a quantifier. For example:

/foo|{bar}/

However, ES3 and ES5 forbid this, as PatternCharacter does not include { or } or any of the other significant punctuation.

Given that every new implementation ends up having to do what all the existing implementations do, is there any reason for the spec to differ?

Best regards,

Michael
