Matthew Barnett added the comment:
@Mark is correct, it's not a bug.
In the first example:
It tries to match each alternative at position 0. Failure.
It tries to match each alternative at position 1. Failure.
It tries to match each alternative at position 2. Failure.
It tries to match each alternative at position 3. Success. ' inc' matches.
In the second example:
It tries to match each alternative at position 0. Failure.
It tries to match each alternative at position 1. Failure.
It tries to match each alternative at position 2. Failure.
It tries to match each alternative at position 3. Failure.
It tries to match each alternative at position 4. Success. 'incorporated'
matches. ('inc' is a later alternative; it's considered only if the earlier
alternatives have failed to match at that position.)
