# This test is pretty subtle. It demonstrates the crucial difference between
# '^a' and 'a' compiled in 'anchored' mode. The former regex exclusively
# matches at the start of a haystack and nowhere else. The latter regex has
# no such restriction, but its automaton is constructed such that it lacks a
# `.*?` prefix. So it can actually produce matches at multiple locations.
# The anchored3 test drives this point home.

# Unlikely anchored2, this test stops matching anything after it sees `b`
# since it lacks a `.*?` prefix. Since it is looking for 'a' but sees 'b', it
# determines that there are no remaining matches.
