/**
* 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.

* <h2><a id="bs">Backslashes, escapes, and quoting</a></h2>
*
* <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 Language Specification</cite>
* as either Unicode escapes (section {@jls 3.3}) or other character escapes (section {@jls 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>"\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.
*
* <h2><a id="cc">Character Classes</a></h2>
*
* <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:
*
* <table class="striped" style="margin-left: 2em;">
* <caption style="display:none">Precedence of character class operators.</caption>
* <thead>
* <tr><th scope="col">Precedence<th scope="col">Name<th scope="col">Example
* </thead>

* <tr><th scope="row">1</th>

*
* <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.
*
* <h2><a id="lt">Line terminators</a></h2>
*
* <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 ({@code '\n'}),
*
* <li> A carriage-return character followed immediately by a newline
* character ({@code "\r\n"}),
*
* <li> A standalone carriage-return character ({@code '\r'}),
*
* <li> A next-line character (<code>'\u0085'</code>),
*
* <li> A line-separator character (<code>'\u2028'</code>), or
*
* <li> A paragraph-separator character (<code>'\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.
*
* <h2><a id="cg">Groups and capturing</a></h2>
*
* <h3><a id="gnumber">Group number</a></h3>
* <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>
*
* <ol style="margin-left:2em;">
* <li> {@code ((A)(B(C)))}
* <li> {@code (A)}
* <li> {@code (B(C))}
* <li> {@code (C)}
* </ol>
*
* <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.
*
* <h3><a id="groupname">Group name</a></h3>
* <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>'\u0041'</code> through <code>'\u005a'</code>),
* <li> The lowercase letters {@code 'a'} through {@code 'z'}
* (<code>'\u0061'</code> through <code>'\u007a'</code>),
* <li> The digits {@code '0'} through {@code '9'}
* (<code>'\u0030'</code> through <code>'\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.
*
* <h2> Unicode support </h2>
*
* <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 Expressions</i></a>, plus RL2.1
* Canonical Equivalents and RL2.2 Extended Grapheme Clusters.
* <p>
* <b>Unicode escape sequences</b> such as <code>\u2014</code> in Java source code
* are processed as described in section {@jls 3.3} of
* <cite>The Java 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>"\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>\x{...}</code>, for example a supplementary character U+2011F can be
* specified as <code>\x{2011F}</code>, instead of two consecutive Unicode escape
* sequences of the surrogate pair <code>\uD840</code><code>\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>\u263A</code>. The character names supported
* by this class are the valid Unicode character names matched by
* {@link java.lang.Character#codePointOf(String) Character.codePointOf(name)}.
* <p>
* <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/#Default_Grapheme_Clusters">
* <b>Unicode extended grapheme clusters</b></a> are supported by the grapheme
* 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
* and outside of a character class.
*
* <p>
* <b><a id="usc">Scripts</a></b> are specified either with the prefix {@code Is}, as in
* {@code IsHiragana}, or by using the {@code script} keyword (or its short
* form {@code sc}) as in {@code script=Hiragana} or {@code sc=Hiragana}.
* <p>
* The script names supported by {@code Pattern} are the valid script names
* accepted and defined by
* {@link java.lang.Character.UnicodeScript#forName(String) UnicodeScript.forName}.
*
* <p>
* <b><a id="ubc">Blocks</a></b> are specified with the prefix {@code In}, as in
* {@code InMongolian}, or by using the keyword {@code block} (or its short
* form {@code blk}) as in {@code block=Mongolian} or {@code blk=Mongolian}.
* <p>
* The block names supported by {@code Pattern} are the valid block names
* accepted and defined by
* {@link java.lang.Character.UnicodeBlock#forName(String) UnicodeBlock.forName}.
* <p>
*
* <b><a id="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/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 id="ubpc">Binary properties</a></b> are specified with the prefix {@code Is}, as in
* {@code IsAlphabetic}. The supported binary properties by {@code Pattern}
* are
* <ul>
* <li> Alphabetic
* <li> Ideographic
* <li> Letter
* <li> Lowercase
* <li> Uppercase
* <li> Titlecase
* <li> Punctuation
* <Li> Control
* <li> White_Space
* <li> Digit
* <li> Hex_Digit
* <li> Join_Control
* <li> Noncharacter_Code_Point
* <li> Assigned
* </ul>
* <p>
* The following <b>Predefined Character classes</b> and <b>POSIX character classes</b>
* are in conformance with the recommendation of <i>Annex C: Compatibility Properties</i>
* of <a href="http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr18/"><i>Unicode Technical Standard #18:

* <h2> Comparison to Perl 5 </h2>
*
* <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>\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>
*
* </ul>
