// Package regexp implements regular expression search.
//
// The syntax of the regular expressions accepted is the same
// general syntax used by Perl, Python, and other languages.
// More precisely, it is the syntax accepted by RE2 and described at
// http://code.google.com/p/re2/wiki/Syntax, except for \C.
// For an overview of the syntax, run
//   godoc regexp/syntax
//
// All characters are UTF-8-encoded code points.
//
// There are 16 methods of Regexp that match a regular expression and identify
// the matched text.  Their names are matched by this regular expression:
//
//	Find(All)?(String)?(Submatch)?(Index)?
//
// If 'All' is present, the routine matches successive non-overlapping
// matches of the entire expression.  Empty matches abutting a preceding
// match are ignored.  The return value is a slice containing the successive
// return values of the corresponding non-'All' routine.  These routines take
// an extra integer argument, n; if n >= 0, the function returns at most n
// matches/submatches.
//
// If 'String' is present, the argument is a string; otherwise it is a slice
// of bytes; return values are adjusted as appropriate.
//
// If 'Submatch' is present, the return value is a slice identifying the
// successive submatches of the expression. Submatches are matches of
// parenthesized subexpressions (also known as capturing groups) within the
// regular expression, numbered from left to right in order of opening
// parenthesis. Submatch 0 is the match of the entire expression, submatch 1
// the match of the first parenthesized subexpression, and so on.
//
// If 'Index' is present, matches and submatches are identified by byte index
// pairs within the input string: result[2*n:2*n+1] identifies the indexes of
// the nth submatch.  The pair for n==0 identifies the match of the entire
// expression.  If 'Index' is not present, the match is identified by the
// text of the match/submatch.  If an index is negative, it means that
// subexpression did not match any string in the input.
//
// There is also a subset of the methods that can be applied to text read
// from a RuneReader:
//
//	MatchReader, FindReaderIndex, FindReaderSubmatchIndex
//
// This set may grow.  Note that regular expression matches may need to
// examine text beyond the text returned by a match, so the methods that
// match text from a RuneReader may read arbitrarily far into the input
// before returning.
//
// (There are a few other methods that do not match this pattern.)
//

// it chooses the one that a backtracking search would have found first.

// CompilePOSIX is like Compile but restricts the regular expression

// it chooses a match that is as long as possible.

// that early regular expression implementations used and that POSIX
