Comment (by miqrogroove):

 As far as I understand that article so far, it means the existing three
 greedy quantifiers should also be made possessive because the proceeding
 chars are mutually exclusive and there should be no chance of finding
 matches through backtracking.  That needs to be tested though.   In other
 words...

 {{{
 /(<(?(?=!--).+?--\s*>|[^>]+>)|\[\[?(?:[^\[\]<>]|<[^>]+>)+\]\]?)/s
 }}}

 becomes

 {{{
 /(<(?(?=!--).+?--\s*>|[^>]++>)|\[\[?(?:[^\[\]<>]++|<[^>]++>)++\]\]?)/s
 }}}
