+=head2 Unescaped braces in regexps
+
+Literal unescaped C<{> in regular expressions is now deprecated.  Every
+brace character should be either escaped (by a preceding backslash) or
+part of a construct where it's a metacharacter.  This catches likely typos
+such as C</f{,3}/>.  It will also allow braces to be used in the future
+to delimit parameters to metacharacters that currently take no parameters.
