First off, I think you need to s/\(\*\.\)\?/\(\*\.\)\?/, in which case I think
vim !~ non-greediness. And no, :%s/\</./ isn't necessary in vim; :%s/</./
should be fine. Of course, if I wanted to be pedantic, I could suggest that
you s/:\%s\/\/\/ing/:\%s\/\/\//, since vim reports "trailing characters" if
you :%s///ing.
And people say the folks on the UUG aren't helpful.
