My research showed that this is a syntax error in Microsoft JScript in 
version 5.8.23141 (IE/MSHTML 8.0) and before (and probably in version 
9.0.16440 in Browser Compatibility Mode, the same as with trailing commas in 
Object and Array initialisers), and in Opera ECMAScript in version 9.64 and 
before.  [\s\S] is the safe approach.
