[Glass] Bug in Regex?

[Mariano Martinez Peck]

And..as Esteban Maringolo points out, it also happens with sequence of
chars...

'bb' matchesRegex: '([a-z]|[b-z][a-z])' --> false.

Cannot be simpler than this:

'25' matchesRegex:  '(\d\d|\d)' --> true
'25' matchesRegex:  '(\d|\d\d)' --> false

So there is something related to the OR.

Thoughts?
