[issue13998] Lookbehind assertions go behind the start position for the match

[Devin Jeanpierre]

Devin Jeanpierre <jeanpierreda at gmail.com> added the comment:

If it's intended behaviour, then I'd request that the documentation specifically mention lookbehind assertions the way it does with "^".

Saying "it's slightly different" doesn't make clear the ways in which it is different, and that's important for people writing or using regular expressions.
