Well, I solved my problems by modifying the code and using {} for regExp
instead of (). Not kosher, I know.
I also figured out that paying attention to RTFM is a highly valued skill.
Namely, most of the above issues have to do with the fact that the last
character wasn't a letter. So yeah, problems solved. I'm gonna go stand in
a corner now like a dunce. :(
