Description

irb(main):003:0> %r{(?<!bss>)}ui
Traceback (most recent call last):
        1: from /usr/bin/irb:11:in `<main>'
SyntaxError ((irb):3: invalid pattern in look-behind: /(?<!bss>)/i)

The error goes away if you remove the "u" or "i" modifier. It comes back if you leave just the "i" modifier and then apply the regexp to a unicode string, since at that point the regexp gets converted to unicode.
