+ PL_regcc contains infoblock about the innermost (...)* loop, and
+ a pointer to the next outer infoblock.
+
+ Here is how Y(A)*Z is processed (if it is compiled into CURLYX/WHILEM):
+
+   1) After matching X, regnode for CURLYX is processed;
+
+   2) This regnode creates infoblock on the stack, and calls 
+      regmatch() recursively with the starting point at WHILEM node;
+
+   3) Each hit of WHILEM node tries to match A and Z (in the order
+      depending on the current iteration, min/max of {min,max} and
+      greediness).  The information about where are nodes for "A"
+      and "Z" is read from the infoblock, as is info on how many times "A"
+      was already matched, and greediness.
+
+   4) After A matches, the same WHILEM node is hit again.
+
+   5) Each time WHILEM is hit, PL_regcc is the infoblock created by CURLYX
+      of the same pair.  Thus when WHILEM tries to match Z, it temporarily
+      resets PL_regcc, since this Y(A)*Z can be a part of some other loop:
+      as in (Y(A)*Z)*.  If Z matches, the automaton will hit the WHILEM node
+      of the external loop.
+
+ Currently present infoblocks form a tree with a stem formed by PL_curcc
+ and whatever it mentions via ->next, and additional attached trees
+ corresponding to temporarily unset infoblocks as in "5" above.
+
+ In the following picture infoblocks for outer loop of 
+ (Y(A)*?Z)*?T are denoted O, for inner I.  NULL starting block
+ is denoted by x.  The matched string is YAAZYAZT.  Temporarily postponed
+ infoblocks are drawn below the "reset" infoblock.
+
+ In fact in the picture below we do not show failed matches for Z and T
