Unfortunately lookbehinds can not be variable length. And since we want to
allow arbitrary amount of spaces between "tokens" this is the solution we
need to adopt. I can not see a good reason for why say [a-z]* should not
be able to be used in a lookbehind but that is the case.

Sorry for calling you Hans by the way, for some reason I assumed you were
