Is it correct syntax if a pattern contains only one of these brackets, e.g. as in the example from clause B.1.5.2:<br />
template charstring RegExp4 := pattern &quot;{Reg&quot;; <br />
<br />
Proposed resolution: Add a requirement that metacharacters within a pattern shall be complete. Following this resolution, the previously mentioned example can be removed and there is no longer the need to explain that patterns are to be evaluated only once. Note that this is a backwards incompatible change. The example mentioned before was correct code, now it would be considered incorrect TTCN-3.<br />
