Per a strict reading of the current text of backslash is not special
when it appears at the end of the pattern string. See Austin Group
issue #806:
http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=806
However, the way this was resolved (treating the final backslash as
unmatchable or as an error) does not match musl's current behavior, so
musl should be changed here.

As nsz said, my interpretation of the requirements is that backslash
in a bracket expression is never special; it is an ordinary character.
This has been discussed before and nobody was able to prevent
convincing evidence to the contrary, but it's been a while since I
looked into the issue and I don't have the references handy.

No problem, you're communicating fine.
