We do not really support regular expressions yet, but we do support
trivial patterns including ones with escaped characters. Let's make sure
that that works as advertised.

We were incorrectly returning an empty array when the input was empty,
whereas we ought to return an array containing a single empty string.
When the pattern to match was empty, we went into a loop to create an
infinite list of empty strings, only to crash once we've run out of
memory. This commit addresses both problems.
