This could be considered a documentation bug, so I'm not really sure it should be
submitted here, but [this page](http://www.jedit.org/users-guide/mode-rule-span-regexp.html)
states that
> In addition, the END subtag supports the attribute REGEXP, which if set to TRUE,
tells the highlighter to interpret the END text as a regular expression as well.
This is absolutely false, as any simple test will demonstrate:
<SPAN_REGEXP HASH_CHAR="a">
<BEGIN>aaa</BEGIN>
<END REGEXP="TRUE">[a]</END>
</SPAN_REGEXP>
This span is only closed by the string "[a]", not the character "a"
