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?
