What do you call "working right"? Rejecting this regexp
looks right
to me. Did you mean to write `c\+\+'?
I know escaping the plusses works, but it's unintuitive. It's almost
certain that two consecutive plusses in that context are being used to
hunt for C++ support.
If it's going to puke and die anyway, why not filter the regexp through
something that escapes two consecutive plusses?
