Subject: [PATCH] fix: any_character converts to the Stdlib any-char alias
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The :any_char fragment had no transform rule and stringified to
"any_charany_character" — odni-uzb's five geminate-collapse rules
(capture(any_character) + ref(1) -> ref(1)) compiled to garbage and
"ччччч" became "chchchchch" instead of "ch". Converts to
AliasRef(:any_character), which the runtime resolves to Stdlib's ".".

odni-uzb: 18 examples, 0 failures (was 6). Sweep tail: 38 -> 32.
