Comment:

 This is actually correct, and not a bug: irregex-match returns a match
 only if the full string matches the regex (ie, the regex is implicitly
 anchored at the start and end).  Your regex here does a lookahead on "
 expression", but does not actually consume that part.

 If you use irregex-search, it'll return the expected value.  So this is a
 documentation bug; I've fixed it upstream and added a few tests for
 positive/negative look-ahead and look-behind, just in case :)

 Found a bug in the chunk handling of look-behind while working on these
 tests, so thanks for that!
