Huh!? The \(?:..\) is actually both useless and harmful here and should be
removed (if possible).
It isn't useless, since it prevents confusion of back-references to
explicit groups.
I think the only way to make this feature work really right
is to add a regexp feature that substitutes something else
for bunches of spaces, but does it only when the spaces
are not inside something else. It was easy to do, so I did it.
