Let's say I want to match the last word ('xxx') in a string like this:

'aaaaa bbb cccc ... xxx'

This regex used to work in v7.3:

.*\zs\<.*

In v7.4, that regex now matches the whole string.  That seems to violate the 
longest-match semantics.  In fact, the result is the same, even if I replace 
the second '*' by '\{,}'.

And if I replace '\<' with '\s', then I do get just the last word (with the 
preceding space, of course).  So I would say the implementation for '\<' is 
buggy.
