 * Date: 22 June 2001
 *
 * SUMMARY:  Regression test for Bugzilla bug 87231:
 * "Regular expression /(A)?(A.*)/ picks 'A' twice"
 *
 * See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87231
 * Key case:
 *
 *            pattern = /^(A)?(A.*)$/;
 *            string = 'A';
 *            expectedmatch = Array('A', '', 'A');
 *
 *
 * We expect the 1st subexpression (A)? NOT to consume the single 'A'.
 * Recall that "?" means "match 0 or 1 times". Here, it should NOT do
 * greedy matching: it should match 0 times instead of 1. This allows
 * the 2nd subexpression to make the only match it can: the single 'A'.
 * Such "altruism" is the only way there can be a successful global match...
