Presenting a solution for endless loop detection that catches endless loops that occur over multiple Begin/End or Begin/While rules, while preventing falsely flagging rules that appear to be endless loops due to the same rule as last stacked matching with a zero length capture condition.
Included are tests for the possible endless loop patterns and for the false pattern described above.
Fixes #145
