After a successful match, the (*MARK) name that is returned is the
last one encountered on the matching path through the pattern. After a "no

example, consider this pattern:
After a successful match, the name that is returned is the last (*MARK),
(*PRUNE), or (*THEN) name encountered on the matching path through the pattern.
Instances of (*PRUNE) and (*THEN) without names are ignored. Thus, for example,
if the matching path contains (*MARK:A)(*PRUNE), the name "A" is returned.
After a "no match" or a partial match, the last encountered name is returned.
For example, consider this pattern:
<pre>
^(*MARK:A)((*MARK:B)a|b)c
</pre>
When it matches "bc", the returned mark is A. The B mark is "seen" in the first

$*MARK inserts the name from the last encountered (*MARK), (*PRUNE), or (*THEN)
