Well, I don't know about "almost any", but at least some broken regexes
will explicitly fail:

so there is intent to catch some specification errors.
I've abandoned this translation anyhow as all that was intended was to split the
string into non-overlapping strings of size at most k. I find this works faster
than the regexp even if the regexp is pre-compiled.
[p[i:i+k] for i in xrange(0,len(p),k)]
