Perl has this handy /c switch for regular expressions that means “continue” and has the effect that a failed match does not reset the start position for /g matches on the string. That way you can write parsers using a separate /gc pattern for each token. This would be hardly any slower than the current Perl implementation which also runs lots of separate regexes.
