scsh regexp greediness

[stktrc <stktrc@yahoo.com>]

I've looked through the scsh manual, but could find anything on
regular expression greediness.

I'd need a regular expression to match as little (soon) as possible
instead of as late (much) as possible.

In Perl regexps it's done using a question mark after the quantifier
([a-z]* becomes [a-z]*?) IIRC.
