// Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style
// license that can be found in the LICENSE file.

// Package regexp implements a simple regular expression library.
//
// The syntax of the regular expressions accepted is:
//
//	regexp:
//		concatenation { '|' concatenation }
//	concatenation:
//		{ closure }
//	closure:
//		term [ '*' | '+' | '?' ]
//	term:
//		'^'
//		'$'
//		'.'
//		character
//		'[' [ '^' ] { character-range } ']'
//		'(' regexp ')'
//	character-range:
//		character [ '-' character ]
//
// All characters are UTF-8-encoded code points.  Backslashes escape special
// characters, including inside character classes.  The standard Go character
// escapes are also recognized: \a \b \f \n \r \t \v.
//
// 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 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 are a few other methods that do not match this pattern.)
//
