/** \class RegularExpression
 * \brief Implements pattern matching with regular expressions.
 *
 * This is the header file for the regular expression class.  An object of
 * this class contains a regular expression, in a special "compiled" format.
 * This compiled format consists of several slots all kept as the objects
 * private data.  The RegularExpression class provides a convenient way to
 * represent regular expressions.  It makes it easy to search for the same
 * regular expression in many different strings without having to compile a
 * string to regular expression format more than necessary.
 *
 * This class implements pattern matching via regular expressions.
 * A regular expression allows a programmer to specify  complex
 * patterns  that  can  be searched for and matched against the
 * character string of a string object. In its simplest form, a
 * regular  expression  is  a  sequence  of  characters used to
 * search for exact character matches. However, many times  the
 * exact  sequence to be found is not known, or only a match at
 * the beginning or end of a string is desired. The RegularExpression regu-
 * lar  expression  class implements regular expression pattern
 * matching as is found and implemented in many  UNIX  commands
 * and utilities.
 *
 * Example: The perl code
 * 
 *    $filename =~ m"([a-z]+)\.cc";
 *    print $1;
 *    
 * Is written as follows in C++
 *
 *    RegularExpression re("([a-z]+)\\.cc");
 *    re.find(filename);
 *    cerr << re.match(1);
 *
 *
 * The regular expression class provides a convenient mechanism
 * for  specifying  and  manipulating  regular expressions. The
 * regular expression object allows specification of such  pat-
 * terns  by using the following regular expression metacharac-
 * ters:
 *
 *  ^        Matches at beginning of a line
 *
 *  $        Matches at end of a line
 *
 * .         Matches any single character
 *
 * [ ]       Matches any character(s) inside the brackets
 *
 * [^ ]      Matches any character(s) not inside the brackets
 *
 *  -        Matches any character in range on either side of a dash
 *
 *  *        Matches preceding pattern zero or more times
 *
 *  +        Matches preceding pattern one or more times
 *
 *  ?        Matches preceding pattern zero or once only
 *
 * ()        Saves a matched expression and uses it in a  later match
 *
 * Note that more than one of these metacharacters can be  used
 * in  a  single  regular expression in order to create complex
 * search patterns. For example, the pattern [^ab1-9]  says  to
 * match  any  character  sequence that does not begin with the
 * characters "ab"  followed  by  numbers  in  the  series  one
 * through nine.
 *
 * There are three constructors for RegularExpression.  One just creates an
 * empty RegularExpression object.  Another creates a RegularExpression
 * object and initializes it with a regular expression that is given in the
 * form of a char*.  The third takes a reference to a RegularExpression
 * object as an argument and creates an object initialized with the
 * information from the given RegularExpression object.
 *
 * The  find  member function  finds   the  first  occurence   of  the regualr
 * expression of that object in the string given to find as an argument.  Find
 * returns a boolean, and  if true,  mutates  the private  data appropriately.
 * Find sets pointers to the beginning and end of  the thing last  found, they
 * are pointers into the actual string  that was searched.   The start and end
 * member functions return indicies  into the searched string that  correspond
 * to the beginning   and  end pointers  respectively.   The    compile member
 * function takes a char* and puts the  compiled version of the char* argument
 * into the object's private data fields.  The == and  != operators only check
 * the  to see  if   the compiled  regular  expression   is the same, and  the
 * deep_equal functions also checks  to see if the  start and end pointers are
 * the same.  The is_valid  function returns false if  program is set to NULL,
 * (i.e. there is no valid compiled exression).  The set_invalid function sets
 * the  program to NULL  (Warning: this deletes the compiled  expression). The
 * following examples may help clarify regular expression usage:
 *
 *   *  The regular expression  "^hello" matches  a "hello"  only at  the
 *      beginning of a  line.  It would match "hello  there" but not "hi,
 *      hello there".
 *
 *   *  The regular expression "long$" matches a  "long"  only at the end
 *      of a line. It would match "so long\0", but not "long ago".
 *
 *   *  The regular expression "t..t..g"  will match anything that  has a
 *      "t" then any two characters, another "t", any  two characters and
 *      then a "g".   It will match  "testing", or "test again" but would
 *      not match "toasting"
 *
 *   *  The regular  expression "[1-9ab]" matches any  number one through
 *      nine, and the characters  "a" and  "b".  It would match "hello 1"
 *      or "begin", but would not match "no-match".
 *
 *   *  The  regular expression "[^1-9ab]"  matches any character that is
 *      not a number one  through nine, or  an "a" or "b".   It would NOT
 *      match "hello 1" or "begin", but would match "no-match".
 *
 *   *  The regular expression "br* " matches  something that begins with
 *      a "b", is followed by zero or more "r"s, and ends in a space.  It
 *      would match "brrrrr ", and "b ", but would not match "brrh ".
 *
 *   *  The regular expression "br+ " matches something  that begins with
 *      a "b", is followed by one or more "r"s, and ends in  a space.  It
 *      would match "brrrrr ",  and  "br ", but would not  match "b  " or
 *      "brrh ".
 *
 *   *  The regular expression "br? " matches  something that begins with
 *      a "b", is followed by zero or one "r"s, and ends in  a space.  It
 *      would  match  "br ", and "b  ", but would not match  "brrrr "  or
 *      "brrh ".
 *
 *   *  The regular expression "(..p)b" matches  something ending with pb
 *      and beginning with whatever the two characters before the first p
 *      encounterd in the line were.  It would find  "repb" in "rep drepa
 *      qrepb".  The regular expression "(..p)a"  would find "repa qrepb"
 *      in "rep drepa qrepb"
 *
 *   *  The regular expression "d(..p)" matches something ending  with p,
 *      beginning with d, and having  two characters  in between that are
 *      the same as the two characters before  the first p  encounterd in
 *      the line.  It would match "drepa qrepb" in "rep drepa qrepb".
