Uncovered while fixing greediness issues in current implementation.

For instance:

import std.regex;
void main(){
    auto c = match("axxxzayyyyyzd",regex("(a.*z){2}d")).captures;
    assert(c[0] == "axxxzayyyyyzd"); //asserts, there is no match ?!
    assert(c[1] == "ayyyyyz");
}

While it's certainly matches, try http://www.regextester.com/
(both PHP preg & JavaScript one).
The reason is that .* on the first iteration jumps out of ...{2} "scope",
skipping next  iteration of '(a.*z)' before trying 'd'.
