I have no idea about why I forced the PCRE_UNGREEDY flag. :-/

Maybe to match the behaviour of the Gambas Replace() function.

The only thing I can do is the following: when specifying explicitly the 
RegExp.Ungreedy constant in the RegExp.Replace() options, then do the 
contrary (remove the ungreedy flag).

What do you think about that?
