Hmm, 
(?:   <- Catch group is required here, since it is used in diagnostic message,
         see $1
   IS_ERR
   (?:_ <- Another atomic group just to show that '_' is a common prefix?
           I'm not sure about this. Usually, Perl interpreter is very good at optimizing such things.
           You could see this optimization if you run perl with -Mre=debug.
     (?:OR_NULL|VALUE))?|WARN)
