Subject: Re: Regexp for parsing?

Thanks, I understand nearly everything now.  It really shows the power 
of the oniguruma engine for regular expressions.  By the way, the comma 
caused a Japanese site to come up.  For people's reference the manual 
for onigurama is at:

http://www.geocities.jp/kosako3/oniguruma/doc/RE.txt

That's a great reference, but I still didn't understand this:

What is that pattern?  I've never seen that before.  What does it match? 
Where can I read about that?

Why would that be there since a new open paren should start another 
instance of <pg>, shouldn't it?

So, obviously, I'm still a little confused.
