Back in #11, I derived the overall structure of the resulting
matchblock from combining the tilde / end-of-string comparisons from the former one + the tilde alphanumeric comparisons fromcompare_char. Unfortunately, in the process, an important case got omitted: comparing any character on the left to a tilde on the right, which was incorrectly replaced with comparing to end-of-string on the left.This restores the correct match branch, as well as regrouping the comparisons and adding extra comments for readability.
