Bug ID: 1873
Summary: Groups in conditionals are partially matched, bug or
feature?
Product: PCRE
Version: 8.36
Hardware: x86
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: bug
Priority: medium
Component: Code

If you have a regex with a group, say `(?<REASON>...)` and then use a
conditional, `(?(R)...)`, it tries to match the group `REASON` and not do a
full pattern recursive match.
From the documentation:
If the condition is the string (R), and there is no subpattern with the
name R, the condition is true if a recursive call to the whole pattern
or any subpattern has been made.
Is this a bug or a "feature"?
