Anchors key off of the beginning of the input or the beginning of a
line depending on what options you use.  If you are using
SINGLE_LINE_MASK, but want to key off of the current offset rather
than the beginning of the input, just set the PatternMatcherInput
begin offset to the current offset after each match.
