+// and with various other simplifications, such as rewriting /(?:a+)+/ to /a+/.

+// will not produce the same parse tree, because capturing parentheses
+// may have been duplicated or removed. For example, the simplified form
+// for /(x){1,2}/ is /(x)(x)?/ but both parentheses capture as $1.
+// The returned regexp may share structure with or be the original.
