- Subject: Quiz question on string matching

Find a pattern with no captures such that putting it in parentheses
may change what it matches.
More precisely:
Find strings `str` and `pat` such that `testanswer(str,pat)` prints
'true', where
testanswer = function(str,pat)
if pat:match"[()]" then return end
print(str:match(pat) ~= str:match('(' .. pat .. ')'))
end
