The problem with MATCH_POSIX flag is that it's not a pure "matching time" flag
as all other ones.  We need to make a decision on how interpret '-' during
"compile time" (when we create program), because program for "[-]" and
"[\u0000-\uFFFF]" will be the same.  I, personally, think that we shouldn't
enhance program structure to catch this particular case IMHO this is overkill.

I'd say that regexp package should just make a decision on how it handles 
incomplete ranges and does so without any flags.
