Comment (by miqrogroove):

 I'm looking if there's a way to make variable length expressions atomic so
 that the engine won't backtrack inside an element.  But given the
 complexity of that sort of thing, I'm tempted to just rewrite the entire
 expression instead, using conditions instead of alternation.
