The non-greedy quantifiers are @litchar{*?}, @litchar{+?},
@litchar{??}, @litchar["{"]@math{m}@litchar["}?"], and
@litchar["{"]@math{m}@litchar{,}@math{n}@litchar["}?"], although
@litchar["{"]@math{m}@litchar["}?"] is always the same as
@litchar["{"]@math{m}@litchar["}"]. Note that the metacharacter
@litchar{?} has two different uses, and both uses are represented in
@litchar{??}.
