+ *
+ * Beware that some of this code is subtly aware of the way operator
+ * precedence is structured in regular expressions. Serious changes in
+ * regular-expression syntax might require a total rethink.
+ *
+ * *** NOTE: this code has been altered slightly for use in Tcl: ***
+ * *** 1. Use ckalloc, ckfree, and ckrealloc instead of malloc, ***
+ * *** free, and realloc. ***
+ * *** 2. Add extra argument to regexp to specify the real ***
+ * *** start of the string separately from the start of the ***
+ * *** current search. This is needed to search for multiple ***
+ * *** matches within a string. ***
+ * *** 3. Names have been changed, e.g. from re_comp to ***
+ * *** TclRegComp, to avoid clashes with other ***
+ * *** regexp implementations used by applications. ***
+ * *** 4. Various lint-like things, such as casting arguments ***
+ * *** in procedure calls, removing debugging code and ***
+ * *** unused vars and procs. ***
+ * *** 5. Removed "backward-compatibility kludges" such as ***
+ * *** REG_PEND and REG_STARTEND flags, the re_endp field in ***
+ * *** the regex_t struct, and the fronts.c layer. ***
+ * *** 6. Changed char to Tcl_UniChar. ***
+ * *** 7. Removed -DPOSIX_MISTAKE compile-time flag. ***
+ * *** This is now the default. ***
+ * *** 8. For performance considerations, created new Unicode ***
+ * *** interfaces to avoid having to convert between UTF and ***
+ * *** Unicode when we already had the Unicode string. For ***
+ * *** example, in a "regsub -all" we were converting the ***
+ * *** match string to Unicode N times, where N is the number ***
+ * *** of bytes in the source string. ***
+ * *** 9. Changed/widened some of the interfaces to allow ***
+ * *** explicit passing of flags so that tclTest.c could ***
+ * *** test the full range of acceptable flags. ***
