   It is really hard to fix.

   Thanks for the report, and thanks to @dualfroz for the attempt in #340. The problem is real, but I've decided not to fix it in Validators.

   The | in the type expression is the separator of alternatives, so a pattern containing it can only be supported by special-casing pattern:, which changes the meaning of existing expressions such as pattern:\d+|email. Validators is a legacy part of Utils now; its role is being taken over by nette/schema, where the pattern is passed on its own and the pipe works as expected:

   Expect::string()->pattern('a|b')

   So I'm closing this.
