Description

Hi,

I am using a ruta rule like

Token{REGEXP(Token.tag.value, "AtPl")} // An article
Token{REGEXP(Token.tag.value, "NoPl")} // A noun in plural
Token?{REGEXP(Token.tag.value, "PnDmPl")} // An optional demonstrative pronoun in plural
Token.tag.value=="VbSg"{REGEXP("aVerb", true)->
Token.tag.value="VbPl"} ; // A verb that is ambiguous as far as number is concerned (Sg-Pl)

to match and modify input like both

anArt|AtPl aNoun|NoPl aVerb|VbSg

and

anArt|AtPl aNoun|NoPl aPronoun|PnDmPl aVerb|VbSg

However, the rule matches only the second case:

anArt|AtPl aNoun|NoPl aVerb|VbSg
anArt|AtPl aNoun|NoPl aPronoun|PnDmPl aVerb|VbPl

i.e. the optional quantifier seems not to be working.

Thanks for looking into this.
