That's right. I may say that not many people have got as far as you in
plumbing the depths of this code. I paid a lot of attention to
piggybacking on the (relatively) good performance of regular
expressions.

That seemed like the correct behaviour; at least the visual effect was
obvious, helping debug such mistakes.
