Bug-Description:

Two bugs:

How does it decide what characters are allowed. The following really
looks like a bug to me:
$ echo {<C4>..D}
That's accepted and produces output that seems to wrap round to ^A and
then goes up to D. Note that I'm using an ISO-8859-1 locale. If that
works at all, it should surely descend.

This short script:

var=baz
echo foo{bar,${var}.}
echo foo{bar,${var}}

gives the following output with bash-3.0:

/test: line 2: foo${var.}: bad substitution
foobar} foobaz
