You put a weird pattern: [public|protected|private|static]* If you wanted to group, you should use ()
I didn't want to group, we don't need to know the actual modifier, we just want to allow only this subset. And yes, it was a group before but there is just no need to.
I think Can is right, [] brackets are only for character ranges, not string matching. So () brackets are necessary for matching even when ignoring the group.
