Just to clarify, the bug is that the error message shouldn't even say 'Error: module bug std.regex.IR is private' (which is very confusing). It should just say:
Error: undefined identifier s, did you mean enum IR?
The second weird thing is that 's' is far from 'IR'; shouldn't it either specify other symbols or put a cap on levinstein distance?
