I have committed a patch that does this:

/(?=ab\K)/+
    abcd
Start of matched string is beyond its end - displaying from end to start.
 0: ab
 0+ abcd

Note that the /+ modifier still causes the rest of the string (following
the "end" of the match) to be printed. This is in fact compatible with 
Perl (the $' variable), though Perl documents the use of \K in
assertions as "not well defined".
