Handle interleaved matchers

I am facing issues when I interleave matchers. For a simple example I got a matcher for markdown like syntax which maps like this:

/\*(.*?)\*/ => <strong>firstCapturingGroup</strong>
/\_(.*?)\_/ => <i>firstCapturingGroup</i>

This works as expected for simple contents like *foo* or _foo_. The result for interleaved content like _*foo*_ is <i>#{{0}}#</i> instead of the intended <i><strong>foo</strong></i>.

I understand why this happens but I couldn’t think of a simple fix/workaround. Is there a recommended way to handle this case?

Got it working. Tagged interweave@12.0.0-alpha.0 if you want to test it. There are examples in that PR.

Interleaving works perfectly when separating the matchers. Appreciate your work!
