If non-conforming regexps are handled, I think (at least perceived)
interoperation could suffer. Suppose someone gets used to using a
particular I-Regexp implementation and fails to notice they have stepped
outside the official syntax. Then at some point, they try another i-Regexp
implementation and either (a) their regexp syntax is rejected as invalid or
(b) the behaviour is different.
