Tomasz J. Kotarba added the comment: The example I gave was the simplest possible to illustrate my point but yes, you are correct, I often match the whole string as I do recursive matches. I do use non-capturing groups but they would not solve the problem I talked about. Anyway, I had solved my problem before I reported this issue so I would be all right with whatever the outcome of this discussion was but I am glad we have managed to contribute to improving the docs. Thanks and nice talking to you :)!
