I believe that using a / search as a motion will NOT by default
include the match in the motion. A motion is all the text that the
cursor MOVES OVER, so for example you get "dl" to delete just the
character under the cursor.
You should be safe without the zero-width lookahead. Experimentation
shows me that I need to explicitly include the match in the motion,
like this:
d/pattern/e
Which will delete from the cursor up to and including the matched text
for "pattern".
