-Note that if the previous group of characters contains wildcards,
-results can be unpredictable to the point of being logically incorrect.
-It is recommended that the pattern be trimmed to match the minimum
-possible.  For example, to match a string of the form `tt(1_2_3_)', use
-a pattern of the form `tt(LPAR()[[:digit:]]##_+RPAR()LPAR()#c3+RPAR())', not
-`tt(LPAR()*_+RPAR()LPAR()#c3+RPAR())'.  This arises from the
-complicated interaction between attempts to match a number of
-repetitions of the whole pattern and attempts to match the wildcard
-`tt(*)'.
