# therefore it gets replaced.  Whitespace is preserved after replacing.

# The first :C modifier has the 'W' modifier, which makes the whole
# expression a single word.  The 'g' modifier then replaces all occurrences
# of "1 2" with "___".  The 'W' modifier only applies to this single :C
# modifier.  This is demonstrated by the :C modifier that follows.  If the
# 'W' modifier would be preserved, only a single underscore would have been
# replaced with an 'x'.

# The regular expression does not match in the first word.
# It matches once in the second word, and the \0\0 doubles that word.
# In the third word, the regular expression matches as early as possible,
# and since the matches must not overlap, the next possible match would
# start at the 6, but at that point, there is only one character left,
# and that cannot match the regular expression "..".  Therefore only the
# "45" is doubled in the third word.

# Up to 2020-08-28, the manual page said that the modifiers '1' and 'g'
# were orthogonal, which was wrong.  It doesn't make sense to specify both
# 'g' and '1' at the same time.

# In regular expressions with alternatives, not all capturing groups are
# always set; some may be missing.  Make calls these "unmatched
# subexpressions".
#
# Between var.c 1.16 from 1996-12-24 until before var.c 1.933 from 2021-06-21,
# unmatched subexpressions produced an "error message" but did not have any
# further effect since the "error handling" didn't influence the exit status.
#
# Before 2021-06-21 there was no way to turn off this warning, thus the
# combination of alternative matches and capturing groups was seldom used, if
# at all.
#
# Since var.c 1.933 from 2021-06-21, the error message is only printed in lint
# mode (-dL), but not in default mode.
#
# As an alternative to the change from var.c 1.933 from 2021-06-21, a possible
# mitigation would have been to add a new modifier 'U' to the already existing
# '1Wg' modifiers of the ':C' modifier.  That modifier could have been used in
# the modifier ':C,(a.)|(b.),\1\2,U' to treat unmatched subexpressions as
# empty.  This approach would have created a syntactical ambiguity since the
# modifiers ':S' and ':C' are open-ended (see mod-subst-chain), that is, they
# do not need to be followed by a ':' to separate them from the next modifier.
# Luckily the modifier :U does not make sense after :C, therefore this case
# does not happen in practice.
