 * For the first non-nested matching pair of a and b in str, return an object with those keys:
 * start the index of the first match of
 * `end` the index of the matching b
 * `pre` the preamble, a and b not included
 * `body` the match, a and b not included
 * `post` the postscript, a and b not included
 * If there's no match, `undefined` will be returned.
 * If the `str` contains more a than b / there are unmatched pairs,
 * the first match that was closed will be used.
 * For example, `{{a}` will match `['{', 'a', '']` and `{a}}` will match `['', 'a', '}']`
