Description

With latest version 0.3.0 I've created the following pattern:

Pattern { original: "/archiv/", tokens: [AnyRecursiveSequence, Char('a'), Char('r'), Char('c'), Char('h'), Char('i'), Char('v'), Char('/'), AnyRecursiveSequence], is_recursive: true }

As you can see the token "Char('/')" is too much and calls to matches don't work as expected.

Research direction

Reproduce parsing and matching for the pattern "/archiv/" described in the report, then trace how its token list is created. Confirm that the generated tokens do not include the extra Char('/') and that matching behaves as expected for this pattern.
