I've worked with regular expressions just enough to not understand something
here.  You say you'll live with the greedy match, which implies you want to
be able to do better, but that looks like a pretty simple regex to me, so
I'm not sure what about it isn't up to snuff.  Also, it was my understanding
that "greedy" when applied to regular expressions meant it matched as much
of the string as possible, as opposed to as little.  What about the given
regex forces it to be greedy?
