Currently only (?:(?:a*)*)* is allowed (but still non deterministic).

This is due to the currently used Grammar. Maybe we should scrap the current ANTLR based parser and rewrite it into a manually written one. This would allow us to handle things more liberally (see #15)

On the other hand side one might argue that this doesn't make sense. The standard implementation of Java Regexes doesn't like the Regex either.
