I prefer to match on know characters when possible than just
wildcarding for any old thing.

And that is what that does.

1. The match operator \/ is first greedy-to-the-left, then
greedy-to-the-right.
2. The .* at the left of the match operator is non-greedy, because of
the match operator.

This all simply means that the .* in the middle is first tried with
length 0, then with length 1, etc.

(The behaviour of the .* at the end is greedy, because it is at the
right side of the match operator.)
