/**
 * A compiled representation of a regular expression.
 *
 * <p> A regular expression, specified as a string, must first be compiled into
 * an instance of this class.  The resulting pattern can then be used to create
 * a {@link Matcher} object that can match arbitrary {@linkplain
 * java.lang.CharSequence character sequences} against the regular
 * expression.  All of the state involved in performing a match resides in the
 * matcher, so many matchers can share the same pattern.
 *
 * <p> A typical invocation sequence is thus
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * Pattern p = Pattern.{@link #compile compile}("a*b");
 * Matcher m = p.{@link #matcher matcher}("aaaaab");
 * boolean b = m.{@link Matcher#matches matches}();</pre></blockquote>
 *
 * <p> A {@link #matches matches} method is defined by this class as a
 * convenience for when a regular expression is used just once.  This method
 * compiles an expression and matches an input sequence against it in a single
 * invocation.  The statement
 *
 * <blockquote><pre>
 * boolean b = Pattern.matches("a*b", "aaaaab");</pre></blockquote>
 *
 * is equivalent to the three statements above, though for repeated matches it
 * is less efficient since it does not allow the compiled pattern to be reused.
 *
 * <p> Instances of this class are immutable and are safe for use by multiple
 * concurrent threads.  Instances of the {@link Matcher} class are not safe for
 * such use.

 * <p> The backslash character ({@code '\'}) serves to introduce escaped
 * constructs, as defined in the table above, as well as to quote characters
 * that otherwise would be interpreted as unescaped constructs.  Thus the
 * expression {@code \\} matches a single backslash and <code>\{</code> matches a
 * left brace.
 *
 * <p> It is an error to use a backslash prior to any alphabetic character that
 * does not denote an escaped construct; these are reserved for future
 * extensions to the regular-expression language.  A backslash may be used
 * prior to a non-alphabetic character regardless of whether that character is
 * part of an unescaped construct.
 *
 * <p> Backslashes within string literals in Java source code are interpreted
 * as required by
 * <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>
 * as either Unicode escapes (section 3.3) or other character escapes (section 3.10.6)
 * It is therefore necessary to double backslashes in string
 * literals that represent regular expressions to protect them from
 * interpretation by the Java bytecode compiler.  The string literal
 * <code>"&#92;b"</code>, for example, matches a single backspace character when
 * interpreted as a regular expression, while {@code "\\b"} matches a
 * word boundary.  The string literal {@code "\(hello\)"} is illegal
 * and leads to a compile-time error; in order to match the string
 * {@code (hello)} the string literal {@code "\\(hello\\)"}
 * must be used.
 *
 * <h3><a name="cc">Character Classes</a></h3>
 *
 *    <p> Character classes may appear within other character classes, and
 *    may be composed by the union operator (implicit) and the intersection
 *    operator ({@code &&}).
 *    The union operator denotes a class that contains every character that is
 *    in at least one of its operand classes.  The intersection operator
 *    denotes a class that contains every character that is in both of its
 *    operand classes.
 *
 *    <p> The precedence of character-class operators is as follows, from
 *    highest to lowest:
 *
 *    <blockquote><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"
 *                 summary="Precedence of character class operators.">
 *      <tr><th>1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Literal escape&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>
 *        <td>{@code \x}</td></tr>
 *     <tr><th>2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Grouping</td>
 *        <td>{@code [...]}</td></tr>
 *     <tr><th>3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Range</td>
 *        <td>{@code a-z}</td></tr>
 *      <tr><th>4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Union</td>
 *        <td>{@code [a-e][i-u]}</td></tr>
 *      <tr><th>5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *        <td>Intersection</td>
 *        <td>{@code [a-z&&[aeiou]]}</td></tr>
 *    </table></blockquote>
 *
 *    <p> Note that a different set of metacharacters are in effect inside
 *    a character class than outside a character class. For instance, the
 *    regular expression {@code .} loses its special meaning inside a
 *    character class, while the expression {@code -} becomes a range
 *    forming metacharacter.
 *
 * <h3><a name="lt">Line terminators</a></h3>
 *
 * <p> A <i>line terminator</i> is a one- or two-character sequence that marks
 * the end of a line of the input character sequence.  The following are
 * recognized as line terminators:
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *   <li> A newline (line feed) character&nbsp;({@code '\n'}),
 *
 *   <li> A carriage-return character followed immediately by a newline
 *   character&nbsp;({@code "\r\n"}),
 *
 *   <li> A standalone carriage-return character&nbsp;({@code '\r'}),
 *
 *   <li> A next-line character&nbsp;(<code>'&#92;u0085'</code>),
 *
 *   <li> A line-separator character&nbsp;(<code>'&#92;u2028'</code>), or
 *
 *   <li> A paragraph-separator character&nbsp;(<code>'&#92;u2029'</code>).
 *
 * </ul>
 * <p>If {@link #UNIX_LINES} mode is activated, then the only line terminators
 * recognized are newline characters.
 *
 * <p> The regular expression {@code .} matches any character except a line
 * terminator unless the {@link #DOTALL} flag is specified.
 *
 * <p> By default, the regular expressions {@code ^} and {@code $} ignore
 * line terminators and only match at the beginning and the end, respectively,
 * of the entire input sequence. If {@link #MULTILINE} mode is activated then
 * {@code ^} matches at the beginning of input and after any line terminator
 * except at the end of input. When in {@link #MULTILINE} mode {@code $}
 * matches just before a line terminator or the end of the input sequence.
 *
 * <h3><a name="cg">Groups and capturing</a></h3>
 *
 * <h4><a name="gnumber">Group number</a></h4>
 * <p> Capturing groups are numbered by counting their opening parentheses from
 * left to right.  In the expression {@code ((A)(B(C)))}, for example, there
 * are four such groups: </p>
 *
 * <blockquote><table cellpadding=1 cellspacing=0 summary="Capturing group numberings">
 * <tr><th>1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *     <td>{@code ((A)(B(C)))}</td></tr>
 * <tr><th>2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *     <td>{@code (A)}</td></tr>
 * <tr><th>3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *     <td>{@code (B(C))}</td></tr>
 * <tr><th>4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</th>
 *     <td>{@code (C)}</td></tr>
 * </table></blockquote>
 *
 * <p> Group zero always stands for the entire expression.
 *
 * <p> Capturing groups are so named because, during a match, each subsequence
 * of the input sequence that matches such a group is saved.  The captured
 * subsequence may be used later in the expression, via a back reference, and
 * may also be retrieved from the matcher once the match operation is complete.
 *
 * <h4><a name="groupname">Group name</a></h4>
 * <p>A capturing group can also be assigned a "name", a {@code named-capturing group},
 * and then be back-referenced later by the "name". Group names are composed of
 * the following characters. The first character must be a {@code letter}.
 *
 * <ul>
 *   <li> The uppercase letters {@code 'A'} through {@code 'Z'}
 *        (<code>'&#92;u0041'</code>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<code>'&#92;u005a'</code>),
 *   <li> The lowercase letters {@code 'a'} through {@code 'z'}
 *        (<code>'&#92;u0061'</code>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<code>'&#92;u007a'</code>),
 *   <li> The digits {@code '0'} through {@code '9'}
 *        (<code>'&#92;u0030'</code>&nbsp;through&nbsp;<code>'&#92;u0039'</code>),
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> A {@code named-capturing group} is still numbered as described in
 * <a href="#gnumber">Group number</a>.
 *
 * <p> The captured input associated with a group is always the subsequence
 * that the group most recently matched.  If a group is evaluated a second time
 * because of quantification then its previously-captured value, if any, will
 * be retained if the second evaluation fails.  Matching the string
 * {@code "aba"} against the expression {@code (a(b)?)+}, for example, leaves
 * group two set to {@code "b"}.  All captured input is discarded at the
 * beginning of each match.
 *
 * <p> Groups beginning with {@code (?} are either pure, <i>non-capturing</i> groups
 * that do not capture text and do not count towards the group total, or
 * <i>named-capturing</i> group.
 *
 * <h3> Unicode support </h3>
 *
 * <p> This class is in conformance with Level 1 of <a
 * href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/"><i>Unicode Technical
 * Standard #18: Unicode Regular Expression</i></a>, plus RL2.1
 * Canonical Equivalents.
 * <p>
 * <b>Unicode escape sequences</b> such as <code>&#92;u2014</code> in Java source code
 * are processed as described in section 3.3 of
 * <cite>The Java&trade; Language Specification</cite>.
 * Such escape sequences are also implemented directly by the regular-expression
 * parser so that Unicode escapes can be used in expressions that are read from
 * files or from the keyboard.  Thus the strings <code>"&#92;u2014"</code> and
 * {@code "\\u2014"}, while not equal, compile into the same pattern, which
 * matches the character with hexadecimal value {@code 0x2014}.
 * <p>
 * A Unicode character can also be represented by using its <b>Hex notation</b>
 * (hexadecimal code point value) directly as described in construct
 * <code>&#92;x{...}</code>, for example a supplementary character U+2011F can be
 * specified as <code>&#92;x{2011F}</code>, instead of two consecutive Unicode escape
 * sequences of the surrogate pair <code>&#92;uD840</code><code>&#92;uDD1F</code>.
 * <p>
 * <b>Unicode character names</b> are supported by the named character construct
 * <code>\N{</code>...<code>}</code>, for example, <code>\N{WHITE SMILING FACE}</code>
 * specifies character <code>&#92;u263A</code>. The character names supported

 * cluster matcher {@code \X} and the corresponding boundary matcher {@code \b{g}}.
 * <p>
 * Unicode scripts, blocks, categories and binary properties are written with
 * the {@code \p} and {@code \P} constructs as in Perl.
 * <code>\p{</code><i>prop</i><code>}</code> matches if
 * the input has the property <i>prop</i>, while <code>\P{</code><i>prop</i><code>}</code>
 * does not match if the input has that property.
 * <p>
 * Scripts, blocks, categories and binary properties can be used both inside

 * <p>
 * The block names supported by {@code Pattern} are the valid block names
 * accepted and defined by

 * <p>
 *
 * <b><a name="ucc">Categories</a></b> may be specified with the optional prefix {@code Is}:
 * Both {@code \p{L}} and {@code \p{IsL}} denote the category of Unicode
 * letters. Same as scripts and blocks, categories can also be specified
 * by using the keyword {@code general_category} (or its short form
 * {@code gc}) as in {@code general_category=Lu} or {@code gc=Lu}.
 * <p>
 * The supported categories are those of
 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/unicode/standard/standard.html">
 * <i>The Unicode Standard</i></a> in the version specified by the
 * {@link java.lang.Character Character} class. The category names are those
 * defined in the Standard, both normative and informative.
 * <p>
 *
 * <b><a name="ubpc">Binary properties</a></b> are specified with the prefix {@code Is}, as in

 * <h3> Comparison to Perl 5 </h3>
 *
 * <p>The {@code Pattern} engine performs traditional NFA-based matching
 * with ordered alternation as occurs in Perl 5.
 *
 * <p> Perl constructs not supported by this class: </p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *    <li><p> The backreference constructs, <code>\g{</code><i>n</i><code>}</code> for
 *    the <i>n</i><sup>th</sup><a href="#cg">capturing group</a> and
 *    <code>\g{</code><i>name</i><code>}</code> for
 *    <a href="#groupname">named-capturing group</a>.
 *    </p></li>
 *
 *    <li><p> The conditional constructs
 *    {@code (?(}<i>condition</i>{@code )}<i>X</i>{@code )} and
 *    {@code (?(}<i>condition</i>{@code )}<i>X</i>{@code |}<i>Y</i>{@code )},
 *    </p></li>
 *
 *    <li><p> The embedded code constructs <code>(?{</code><i>code</i><code>})</code>
 *    and <code>(??{</code><i>code</i><code>})</code>,</p></li>
 *
 *    <li><p> The embedded comment syntax {@code (?#comment)}, and </p></li>
 *
 *    <li><p> The preprocessing operations {@code \l} <code>&#92;u</code>,
 *    {@code \L}, and {@code \U}.  </p></li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> Constructs supported by this class but not by Perl: </p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *    <li><p> Character-class union and intersection as described
 *    <a href="#cc">above</a>.</p></li>
 *
 * </ul>
 *
 * <p> Notable differences from Perl: </p>
 *
 * <ul>
 *
 *    <li><p> In Perl, {@code \1} through {@code \9} are always interpreted
 *    as back references; a backslash-escaped number greater than {@code 9} is
 *    treated as a back reference if at least that many subexpressions exist,
 *    otherwise it is interpreted, if possible, as an octal escape.  In this
 *    class octal escapes must always begin with a zero. In this class,
 *    {@code \1} through {@code \9} are always interpreted as back
 *    references, and a larger number is accepted as a back reference if at
 *    least that many subexpressions exist at that point in the regular
 *    expression, otherwise the parser will drop digits until the number is
 *    smaller or equal to the existing number of groups or it is one digit.
 *    </p></li>
 *
 *    <li><p> Perl uses the {@code g} flag to request a match that resumes
 *    where the last match left off.  This functionality is provided implicitly
 *    by the {@link Matcher} class: Repeated invocations of the {@link
 *    Matcher#find find} method will resume where the last match left off,
 *    unless the matcher is reset.  </p></li>
 *
 *    <li><p> In Perl, embedded flags at the top level of an expression affect
 *    the whole expression.  In this class, embedded flags always take effect
 *    at the point at which they appear, whether they are at the top level or
 *    within a group; in the latter case, flags are restored at the end of the
 *    group just as in Perl.  </p></li>
