Regexp highlighting stuff that isn't a regular expression.

This is a real issue and a good example of why swinging regexp parsing is 
always subpar to real parsing.

Not sure how can we detect this at all.

A hacky solution might be to look at the char before the regexp (though it just 
hit me that it might not have access to that when pattern-matching).

The char following might not be useful, you could very well divide something 
with a var named g.
