The AST of "echo [[:invalid:]]" is (LIST (COMMAND (STRING echo) (STRING (MATCH_ANY (CHARACTER_CLASS invalid)))))
It's not correct as patterns shouldn't be command argument. It should be parsed verbatim as a string.

Patterns can be command arguments. Invalid patterns need to be passed through verbatim.
