character, generally with a deprecation warning raised. To escape it, you can
precede it with a backslash ("\{" ) or enclose it within square brackets ("[{]"
). This change will allow for future syntax extensions (like making the lower
bound of a quantifier optional), and better error checking of quantifiers).

Thanks for all your work on this really useful plugin. I really
appreciate it.
So far, as far as I can tell, the plugin is working with the change,
but appreciate that you must check and that was why I didn't just go
ahead and make the change silently.
