79    15. Consider the pattern /A (B(*THEN)C) | D/ where A, B, C, and D are complex
80        pattern fragments (but not containing any | characters). If A and B are
81        matched, but there is a failure in C so that it backtracks to (*THEN), PCRE
82        was behaving differently to Perl. PCRE backtracked into A, but Perl goes to
83        D. In other words, Perl considers parentheses that do not contain any |
84        characters to be part of a surrounding alternative, whereas PCRE was
85        treading (B(*THEN)C) the same as (B(*THEN)C|(*FAIL)) -- which Perl handles
86        differently. PCRE now behaves in the same way as Perl, except in the case
87        of subroutine/recursion calls such as (?1) which have in any case always
88        been different (but PCRE had them first :-).
89    
90    16. Related to 15 above: Perl does not treat the | in a conditional group as
91        creating alternatives. Such a group is treated in the same way as an
92        ordinary group without any | characters when processing (*THEN). PCRE has
93        been changed to match Perl's behaviour.
