Description of Problem:

The Mono Regex class throws an Invalid Options exception when a regex strings
contains the options (?-x-i-s). If you change the option string to (?-xis), it
works as expected.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Create a regex expression that starts with "(?-x-i-s)"
2. Compile the expression

Actual Results:

An Invalid Option exception is thrown.

Expected Results:

Same results as if (?-xis) is used.

How often does this happen? 

Always.

Additional Information:

While the Microsoft documentation never mentions (?-x-i-s) as being valid
syntax, it does work on the Microsoft.NET platform, but not on Mono.
