MDL-43000 shortanswer qtype: handle patterns with many *s
Teachers were typing patterns like
********************************<em>****************************</em>
which translates into a pattern like .*.*.*.*, which is very inefficient
to try to match, althought it is equivalent ot a single .*. At a certain
point preg was just giving up.
Since people actually do this, we should simplify the regex by treating
runs of * like a single *.
