I have been trying to get this to work:

         (:if name .+?comments$ :) name ends with comments
         (:if:) carry on

On the http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/ConditionalMarkup page, it seems 
to show REGEX -style markup. Am I dreaming? Or is it a subset of REGEX that 
works? If so, how do I do and "ends with" or "contains" comparison?
