🐛thread 'main' panicked at 'regex string should be pre-tested: Error(-208, invalid backref number/name)'

I found delta today and it looks nice.
This is what I've experienced right now.
If any additional info is necessary, please guide me.

Repro steps:

1. git clone https://github.com/kissge/SAO
2. Edit .gitconfig as follows:

[log]
    abbrevCommit = true
    decorate = short
[core]
    pager = delta --dark --file-color="#4444ff" --hunk-color="#4444ff"
[interactive]
    diffFilter = delta --color-only

3. git log -p on master HEAD (162596a)

Output:

Thanks for opening this @kissge. It looks like this was the same as sharkdp/bat#650. This should be fixed in master by #200 (updated the syntect library version). Would you be able to confirm?

Thanks @dandavison ! Just as you say, it is now fixed as of delta 0.2.0.
