[docs] [issue23532] add example of 'first match wins' to regex "|" documentation?

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

The thing is, what you describe is fundamental to how regular expressions work.  I'm not sure it makes sense to add a specific mention of it to the '|' docs, since it applies to all regexes.
