Perhaps we could improve that error message. If Ronald hand't pointed out the 
actual problem, it would have taken me a while to figure it out, too.

Maybe "bad character range +-* at position 2: starting character is after 
ending character"? Although I'll admit I haven't looked at the code to see if 
it knows enough to produce that kind of message without some serious 
refactoring.
