-        that value after the start, because it gets reset as code is discarded
-        during the pre-compile. However, this can happen only at top level - if
-        we are within parentheses, the starting BRA will still be present. At
-        any parenthesis level, the length value can be used to test if anything
-        has been compiled at that level. Thus, a test for both these conditions
-        is necessary to ensure we correctly detect the start of the pattern in
-        both phases.
