Hi,
the elisp manual 2.9, I look at, has under the index entry
re-search-backward the notice, that this function is not a "simple
mirror" of re-search-forward, because, well, "it's not worth the
trouble of implementing that".
But I need "the match whose end is as close as possible" (what a true
mirror of re-search-forward would do).
How do I get this: back from point the position of the end of the
match of a regular expression?
