The goal of this item is to provide a solution to the mysterious behaviour described in issue 5311. Basically, the problem is that the character class range '[9-A]' should match the characters in the set ['9', ':', ';', '<', '=', '>', '?', '@', 'A'], but when case-insensitive behaviour is applied, the set of characters that it matches will include ['[', '\\', ']', '^', '_', '`']. These characters occur at an ordinal position between the Uppercase and Lowercase alphabet in ASCII and result from the 'A' in '[9-A]' being converted to lowercase first before the Character Range is evaluated. Thus, the '[9-A]' range will produce unexpected characters that do not technically occur in the specified range.
