 * `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', '}']`
