381    The following act immediately they are reached:
382    <pre>
383      (*ACCEPT)      force successful match
384      (*FAIL)        force backtrack; synonym (*F)
385    </pre>
386    The following act only when a subsequent match failure causes a backtrack to
387    reach them. They all force a match failure, but they differ in what happens
388    afterwards. Those that advance the start-of-match point do so only if the
389    pattern is not anchored.
390    <pre>
391      (*COMMIT)      overall failure, no advance of starting point
392      (*PRUNE)       advance to next starting character
393      (*SKIP)        advance start to current matching position
394      (*THEN)        local failure, backtrack to next alternation
