I'm using a compile time regex to find some tags in an input

I believe what matchAll returns evaluates its .front lazily, so
aye; you need to pop it until you get to the match you want. :<
(assuming I understand the question correctly)
You can however index the *captured fields* in a specific match.
I couldn't wrap my head around your example pattern but see
http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/f693db93c3a4 for a dumbed-down version.
You can't slice match, nor can you have foreach provide an index
variable. This may be to have foreach include named fields? Not
sure.
