Don't ask <b>how</b> I come up with these. Just bear with me. <code>/abc(?#comment)+/</code> is a source of confusion. What should it be? Does the <tt>+</tt> quantify (pointlessly) the comment? Or the "c"? Which does Perl do?
<p>
Neither. It quantifies the <tt>abc</tt> as a whole. If you don't think this is a bug, then let me know; otherwise, P5P is going to hear from me. Probably with a patch, too.
