I would have expected it to see first two back-ticks, then scan

Regardless of how much look-ahead most parsers currently use, do you
disagree with my interpretation?
If so, can provide a more formal definition of how you believe the
spec should be read?
Basically I read it as code-spans can be matched using this regexp: (`
+) ?.*? ?\1
Although in practice we may 1) require at least one character inside
the code-span (so `` on its own is not a zero-character code span)
and 2) we may want to limit them to “markdown paragraphs” which are
roughly defined as ending when there are two consecutive newlines,
making the pattern: (`+) ?(.|\n(?!\n))+? ?\1
