/*!
An implementation of regexes, supporting a relatively rich set of features, including backreferences
and lookaround.

It builds on top of the excellent [regex] crate. If you are not
familiar with it, make sure you read its documentation and maybe you don't even need fancy-regex.

If your regex or parts of it does not use any special features, the matching is delegated to the
regex crate. That means it has linear runtime. But if you use "fancy" features such as
backreferences or look-around, an engine with backtracking needs to be used. In that case, the regex
can be slow and take exponential time to run because of what is called "catastrophic backtracking".
This depends on the regex and the input.

# Usage

The API should feel very similar to the regex crate, and involves compiling a regex and then using
it to find matches in text.

## Example: Matching text

An example with backreferences to check if a text consists of two identical words:

```rust
use fancy_regex::Regex;

let re = Regex::new(r"^(\w+) (\1)$").unwrap();
let result = re.is_match("foo foo");

assert!(result.is_ok());
let did_match = result.unwrap();
assert!(did_match);
```

Note that like in the regex crate, the regex needs anchors like `^` and `$` to match against the
entire input text.

## Example: Finding the position of matches

```rust
use fancy_regex::Regex;

let re = Regex::new(r"(\d)\1").unwrap();
let result = re.find("foo 22");

assert!(result.is_ok(), "execution was successful");
let match_option = result.unwrap();

assert!(match_option.is_some(), "found a match");
let m = match_option.unwrap();

assert_eq!(m.start(), 4);
assert_eq!(m.end(), 6);
assert_eq!(m.as_str(), "22");
```

## Example: Capturing groups

```rust
use fancy_regex::Regex;

let re = Regex::new(r"(?<!AU)\$(\d+)").unwrap();
let result = re.captures("AU$10, $20");

let captures = result.expect("Error running regex").expect("No match found");
let group = captures.get(1).expect("No group");
assert_eq!(group.as_str(), "20");
```

# Syntax

The regex syntax is based on the [regex] crate's, with some additional supported syntax.

Escapes:

`\h`
: hex digit (`[0-9A-Fa-f]`) \
`\H`
: not hex digit (`[^0-9A-Fa-f]`) \
`\e`
: escape control character (`\x1B`)

Backreferences:

`\1`
: match the exact string that the first capture group matched \
`\2`
: backref to the second capture group, etc

Named capture groups:

`(?<name>exp)`
: match *exp*, creating capture group named *name* \
`\k<name>`
: match the exact string that the capture group named *name* matched \
`(?P<name>exp)`
: same as `(?<name>exp)` for compatibility with Python, etc. \
`(?P=name)`
: same as `\k<name>` for compatibility with Python, etc.

Look-around assertions for matching without changing the current position:

`(?=exp)`
: look-ahead, succeeds if *exp* matches to the right of the current position \
`(?!exp)`
: negative look-ahead, succeeds if *exp* doesn't match to the right \
`(?<=exp)`
: look-behind, succeeds if *exp* matches to the left of the current position \
`(?<!exp)`
: negative look-behind, succeeds if *exp* doesn't match to the left

Atomic groups using `(?>exp)` to prevent backtracking within `exp`, e.g.:

```
# use fancy_regex::Regex;
let re = Regex::new(r"^a(?>bc|b)c$").unwrap();
assert!(re.is_match("abcc").unwrap());
// Doesn't match because `|b` is never tried because of the atomic group
assert!(!re.is_match("abc").unwrap());
```

    /// captures corresponding to a match. This allows one to access

    /// ```rust
    /// # use fancy_regex::{Regex, Captures};
    /// let re = Regex::new(r"([^,\s]+),\s+(\S+)").unwrap();
    /// let result = re.replace("Springsteen, Bruce", |caps: &Captures| {
    ///     format!("{} {}", &caps[2], &caps[1])
    /// });
    /// assert_eq!(result, "Bruce Springsteen");
    /// ```
    ///
    /// But this is a bit cumbersome to use all the time. Instead, a simple
    /// syntax is supported that expands `$name` into the corresponding capture
    /// group. Here's the last example, but using this expansion technique
    /// with named capture groups:
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// # use fancy_regex::Regex;
    /// let re = Regex::new(r"(?P<last>[^,\s]+),\s+(?P<first>\S+)").unwrap();
    /// let result = re.replace("Springsteen, Bruce", "$first $last");
    /// assert_eq!(result, "Bruce Springsteen");
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Note that using `$2` instead of `$first` or `$1` instead of `$last`
    /// would produce the same result. To write a literal `$` use `$$`.
    ///
    /// Sometimes the replacement string requires use of curly braces to
    /// delineate a capture group replacement and surrounding literal text.
    /// For example, if we wanted to join two words together with an
    /// underscore:
    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// # use fancy_regex::Regex;
    /// let re = Regex::new(r"(?P<first>\w+)\s+(?P<second>\w+)").unwrap();
    /// let result = re.replace("deep fried", "${first}_$second");
    /// assert_eq!(result, "deep_fried");
    /// ```
    ///
    /// Without the curly braces, the capture group name `first_` would be
    /// used, and since it doesn't exist, it would be replaced with the empty
    /// string.
    ///
    /// Finally, sometimes you just want to replace a literal string with no
    /// regard for capturing group expansion. This can be done by wrapping a
