        will receive the arguments `(matcher, doc, i, matches)`. You can also
        set `on_match` to `None` to not perform any actions.

        A pattern consists of one or more `token_specs`, where a `token_spec`

        '+': Require the pattern to match 1 or more times.

        and '*' patterns in a row and their matches overlap, the first
