This is now partially fixed with commit
f427b557f0f598ee6ff57dfc24080cf33d959242
More to the point, this fixes the original bug report, but doesn't pass
all the tests in t/re/overload.t. In particular, the pos() position after
the second (scalar) match is attached to $o, and re-used for the third
match (void), which then matches the zero-length string at the end.
I think this is correct behaviour and that the third test is wrong.
Opinions?
PS Abigail: why was a new test file created for this rather than just
adding to lib/overload.t ?
