 The following characters have special meaning in regular expressions:
 
-::
-
-   ^         Matches at beginning of input
-   $         Matches at end of input
-   .         Matches any single character
-   [ ]       Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
-   [^ ]      Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
-    -        Inside brackets, specifies an inclusive range between
-             characters on either side e.g. [a-f] is [abcdef]
-             To match a literal - using brackets, make it the first
-             or the last character e.g. [+*/-] matches basic
-             mathematical operators.
-   *         Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
-   +         Matches preceding pattern one or more times
-   ?         Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
-   |         Matches a pattern on either side of the |
-   ()        Saves a matched subexpression, which can be referenced
-             in the REGEX REPLACE operation. Additionally it is saved
-             by all regular expression-related commands, including
-             e.g. if( MATCHES ), in the variables CMAKE_MATCH_(0..9).

 ``*``, ``+`` and ``?`` have higher precedence than concatenation.  ``|``
 has lower precedence than concatenation.  This means that the regular
