/**
 * RE provides the user interface for compiling and matching regular
 * expressions.
 * <P>
 * A regular expression object (class RE) is compiled by constructing it
 * from a String, StringBuffer or character array, with optional
 * compilation flags (below)
 * and an optional syntax specification (see RESyntax; if not specified,
 * <code>RESyntax.RE_SYNTAX_PERL5</code> is used).
 * <P>
 * Once compiled, a regular expression object is reusable as well as
 * threadsafe: multiple threads can use the RE instance simultaneously
 * to match against different input text.
 * <P>
 * Various methods attempt to match input text against a compiled
 * regular expression.  These methods are:
 * <LI><code>isMatch</code>: returns true if the input text in its
 * entirety matches the regular expression pattern.
 * <LI><code>getMatch</code>: returns the first match found in the
 * input text, or null if no match is found.
 * <LI><code>getAllMatches</code>: returns an array of all
 * non-overlapping matches found in the input text.  If no matches are
 * found, the array is zero-length.
 * <LI><code>substitute</code>: substitute the first occurence of the
 * pattern in the input text with a replacement string (which may
 * include metacharacters $0-$9, see REMatch.substituteInto).
 * <LI><code>substituteAll</code>: same as above, but repeat for each
 * match before returning.
 * <LI><code>getMatchEnumeration</code>: returns an REMatchEnumeration
 * object that allows iteration over the matches (see
 * REMatchEnumeration for some reasons why you may want to do this
 * instead of using <code>getAllMatches</code>.
 * <P>
 *
 * These methods all have similar argument lists.  The input can be a
 * CharIndexed, String, a character array, a StringBuffer, or an
 * InputStream of some sort.  Note that when using an
 * InputStream, the stream read position cannot be guaranteed after
 * attempting a match (this is not a bug, but a consequence of the way
 * regular expressions work).  Using an REMatchEnumeration can
 * eliminate most positioning problems.
 *
 * Although the input object can be of various types, it is recommended
 * that it should be a CharIndexed because {@link CharIndexed#getLastMatch()}
 * can show the last match found on this input, which helps the expression
 * \G work as the end of the previous match.
 *
 * <P>
 *
 * The optional index argument specifies the offset from the beginning
 * of the text at which the search should start (see the descriptions
 * of some of the execution flags for how this can affect positional
 * pattern operators).  For an InputStream, this means an
 * offset from the current read position, so subsequent calls with the
 * same index argument on an InputStream will not
 * necessarily access the same position on the stream, whereas
 * repeated searches at a given index in a fixed string will return
 * consistent results.
 *
 * <P>
 * You can optionally affect the execution environment by using a
 * combination of execution flags (constants listed below).
 *
 * <P>
 * All operations on a regular expression are performed in a
 * thread-safe manner.
