1. A trailing `$` at the end of a replacement string could read out of
bounds via `how[i + 1]`; this now raises `ValueError` instead.
2. Numeric capture parsing used `id += (id * 10) + digit` instead of `id
= (id * 10) + digit`, so multi-digit refs were parsed incorrectly (e.g.
`$12` resolved as capture 13 instead of 12).
4. Unterminated named replacement syntax (e.g. `${foo)` is now rejected
with ValueError instead of being accepted and parsed inconsistently.

* Error -> Defect for defects
The distinction between Error and Defect is subjective,
context-dependent and somewhat arbitrary, so when looking at an
exception, it's hard to guess what it is - this happens often when
looking at a `raises` list _without_ opening the corresponding
definition and digging through layers of inheritance.
With the help of a little consistency in naming, it's at least possible
to start disentangling the two error types and the standard lib can set
a good example here.
