`|` matches the longest input:
> 'ab' ~~ / ^:ratchet [ . | .. ] $ /
｢ab｣
If the regex contains empty code blocks, backtracking fails:
> 'ab' ~~ / ^:ratchet [ {}. | {}.. ] $ /
Nil
However, if the search order is reversed so backtracking isn't required,
the match succeeds:
> 'ab' ~~ / ^:ratchet [ {}.. | {}. ] $ /
｢ab｣
