PRE-FORM of an anchored matcher allows for extending the match region 
beyond the end of the current line (which is the default limit). Is 
there any reason why that limit can't be changed to a position before 
the end of line? What would be a good workaround? Narrowing the buffer 
in PRE-FORM, widening in POST-FORM?

Thanks,
Marcus
