/*
* MODIFIED - ECMA has different rules for paren contents. Note
* this regexp has two non-capturing parens, and one capturing
*
* The issue: shouldn't the match be ['ab', undefined]? Because the
* '\1' matches the undefined value of the second iteration of the '*'
* (in which the 'b' part of the '|' matches). But Perl wants ['ab','b'].
*
* Answer: waldemar@netscape.com:
*
* The correct answer is ['ab', undefined]. Perl doesn't match
* ECMAScript here, and I'd say that Perl is wrong in this case.
