----------------
You should make the RegularExpression object first and then check for errors. 
If there are errors, the type lookup should happen by normal name. This is 
again why I don't like us sniffing for a regular expression. If there is an 
error, like when trying to lookup "char*" as mentioned by Aaron, would you 
expect to see an error message saying "char*" isn't a valid regex? Then the 
user thinks that the type lookup always takes a regular expression which is not 
the case, just something the PDB plugin added for some reason. I do believe 
part of this patch should be adding the 
lldb_private::SymbolFile::FindTypesByRegex(...) to the base class and fixing 
this issue by removing the regex sniffing code since it is fragile at best (how 
are we doing to lookup a template type without triggering the regex issues?).
