[issue35859] Capture behavior depends on the order of an alternation

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka <storchaka+cpython at gmail.com> added the comment:

Since the old behavior in many cases matches the behavior of Perl and Java (which are considered bugs, but still), it was decided to not backport the fix to avoid possible breakage in bugfix releases.

Thank you Ma Lin for your contribution.
