------- Additional Comments from Michael Saboff <msaboff at apple.com>
Proposed enhancement to both the Yarr interpreter and JIT to handle expressions
in the form of /[^].*[?]<sub-expr>.*[$]/[m].  The terms in between the leading
and trailing .*'s cannot capture and also this enhancement is limited to single
alternative expressions.  Process the inner terms and then look for the
beginning of the string and end of the string.
