A pattern that generates the empty string like a? or a* (referred to below as nullable pattern) is valid as the regular expression, but maleeni won't recognize the empty string as a lexeme. If a user expects that maleeni recognizes a lexeme matching the empty string, that expectation is wrong, and maleeni should report so. Therefore we prohibit using nullable patterns.
