The real contraindication is that it includes any ending delimiter, so
any patterns including it will match until the end of file and cause
slow matching.  One should only use it in non-greedy parts of the
pattern.

Huh.  Sounds like you should rather change the code than warp the regexp
to do something that has nothing to do with regexp matching any more.
