The simple solution is to have a vector for each paren. At the moment only the last
paren is
saved as the matches are put into an array.
Just dont initialise the vector until you have 2 + elements.
The workaround is to use a reluctant match and then call it repeatedly using the
match( string,
index ) method which is supposed to be internal but i dont think it is.
