* SUMMARY: Testing regexps with the global flag set.
* NOT every substring fitting the given pattern will be matched.
* The parent string is CONSUMED as successive matches are found.
*
* From the ECMA-262 Final spec:
* 
* 15.10.6.2 RegExp.prototype.exec(string)
* Performs a regular expression match of string against the regular
* expression and returns an Array object containing the results of
* the match, or null if the string did not match.
*
* The string ToString(string) is searched for an occurrence of the
* regular expression pattern as follows:
*
* 1.  Let S be the value of ToString(string).
* 2.  Let length be the length of S.
* 3.  Let lastIndex be the value of the lastIndex property.
* 4.  Let i be the value of ToInteger(lastIndex).
* 5.  If the global property is false, let i = 0.
* 6.  If i < 0 or i > length then set lastIndex to 0 and return null.
* 7.  Call [[Match]], giving it the arguments S and i.
*     If [[Match]] returned failure, go to step 8;
*     otherwise let r be its State result and go to step 10.
* 8.  Let i = i+1.
* 9.  Go to step 6.
* 10. Let e be r's endIndex value.
* 11. If the global property is true, set lastIndex to e.
*
*          etc.
*
*
* So when the global flag is set, |lastIndex| is incremented every time
* there is a match; not from i to i+1, but from i to "endIndex" e:
*
* e = (index of last input character matched so far by the pattern) + 1
*
* Thus in the example below, the first endIndex e occurs after the
* first match 'a b'. The next match will begin AFTER this, and so
* will NOT be 'b c', but rather 'c d'. Similarly, 'd e' won't be matched.
