Not really, because I wanted to match the whitespace before the
"text", where "text" does not necessarily belong to the word class --
it can also start with a dot, which would be consumed by your
suggestion.

Of course there are many solutions to overcome this *after* you
realize that not everything what looks like a whitespace is a
whitespace. In my case I chaged the matches from \s* to (\s| )*
