61  13. Added the PCRE_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT option. This currently does two things:  13. Added the PCRE_JAVASCRIPT_COMPAT option. This makes the following changes
62        to the way PCRE behaves:

64      (a) A lone ] character is dis-allowed (Perl treats it as data).      (a) A lone ] character is dis-allowed (Perl treats it as data).

68    
69        (c) A data ] in a character class must be notated as \] because if the
70            first data character in a class is ], it defines an empty class. (In
71            Perl it is not possible to have an empty class.) The empty class []
72            never matches; it forces failure and is equivalent to (*FAIL) or (?!).
73            The negative empty class [^] matches any one character, independently
74            of the DOTALL setting.
