description: 0-length matches update the captures list if and only if they are not followed by a quantifier which allows them to match 0 times.
info: |
RepeatMatcher
1. If max = 0, return c(x).
2. Let d be a new MatcherContinuation with parameters (y) that captures m, min, max, greedy, x, c, parenIndex, and parenCount and performs the following steps when called:
[...]
b. If min = 0 and y's endIndex = x's endIndex, return failure.
c. If min = 0, let min2 be 0; otherwise let min2 be min - 1.
d. If max = +∞, let max2 be +∞; otherwise let max2 be max - 1.
e. Return RepeatMatcher(m, min2, max2, greedy, y, c, parenIndex, parenCount).
3. Let cap be a copy of x's captures List.
4. For each integer k in the inclusive interval from parenIndex + 1 to parenIndex + parenCount, set cap[k] to undefined.
[...]
7. Let xr be the MatchState (Input, e, cap).
[...]
10. Let z be m(xr, d).
11. If z is not failure, return z.
12. Return c(x).
