+# A [regular expression](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression) (also
+# called a *regexp*) is a *match pattern* (also simply called a *pattern*).
+#
+# A common notation for a regexp uses enclosing slash characters:
+#
+#     /foo/
+#
+# A regexp may be applied to a *target string*; The part of the string (if any)
+# that matches the pattern is called a *match*, and may be said *to match*:
+#
+#     re = /red/
+#     re.match?('redirect') # => true   # Match at beginning of target.
+#     re.match?('bored')    # => true   # Match at end of target.
+#     re.match?('credit')   # => true   # Match within target.
+#     re.match?('foo')      # => false  # No match.
+#
+# ## Regexp Uses
+#
+# A regexp may be used:
+#
+# *   To extract substrings based on a given pattern:
+#
+#         re = /foo/              # => /foo/
+#         re.match('food')        # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#         re.match('good')        # => nil
+#
+#     See sections [Method match](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Method+match) and [Operator
+#     =~](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Operator+-3D~).
+#
+# *   To determine whether a string matches a given pattern:
+#
+#         re.match?('food') # => true
+#         re.match?('good') # => false
+#
+#     See section [Method match?](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Method+match-3F).
+#
+# *   As an argument for calls to certain methods in other classes and modules;
+#     most such methods accept an argument that may be either a string or the
+#     (much more powerful) regexp.
+#
+#     See [Regexp Methods](rdoc-ref:regexp/methods.rdoc).
+#
+# ## Regexp Objects
+#
+# A regexp object has:
+#
+# *   A source; see [Sources](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Sources).
+#
+# *   Several modes; see [Modes](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Modes).
+#
+# *   A timeout; see [Timeouts](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Timeouts).
+#
+# *   An encoding; see [Encodings](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Encodings).
+#
+# ## Creating a Regexp
+#
+# A regular expression may be created with:
+#
+# *   A regexp literal using slash characters (see [Regexp
+#     Literals](rdoc-ref:syntax/literals.rdoc@Regexp+Literals)):
+#
+#         # This is a very common usage.
+#         /foo/ # => /foo/
+#
+# *   A `%r` regexp literal (see [%r: Regexp
+#     Literals](rdoc-ref:syntax/literals.rdoc@25r-3A+Regexp+Literals)):
+#
+#         # Same delimiter character at beginning and end;
+#         # useful for avoiding escaping characters
+#         %r/name\/value pair/ # => /name\/value pair/
+#         %r:name/value pair:  # => /name\/value pair/
+#         %r|name/value pair|  # => /name\/value pair/
+#
+#         # Certain "paired" characters can be delimiters.
+#         %r[foo] # => /foo/
+#         %r{foo} # => /foo/
+#         %r(foo) # => /foo/
+#         %r<foo> # => /foo/
+#
+# *   Method Regexp.new.
+#
+# ## Method `match`
+#
+# Each of the methods Regexp#match, String#match, and Symbol#match returns a
+# MatchData object if a match was found, `nil` otherwise; each also sets [global
+# variables](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Global+Variables):
+#
+#     'food'.match(/foo/) # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#     'food'.match(/bar/) # => nil
+#
+# ## Operator `=~`
+#
+# Each of the operators Regexp#=~, String#=~, and Symbol#=~ returns an integer
+# offset if a match was found, `nil` otherwise; each also sets [global
+# variables](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Global+Variables):
+#
+#     /bar/ =~ 'foo bar' # => 4
+#     'foo bar' =~ /bar/ # => 4
+#     /baz/ =~ 'foo bar' # => nil
+#
+# ## Method `match?`
+#
+# Each of the methods Regexp#match?, String#match?, and Symbol#match? returns
+# `true` if a match was found, `false` otherwise; none sets [global
+# variables](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Global+Variables):
+#
+#     'food'.match?(/foo/) # => true
+#     'food'.match?(/bar/) # => false
+#
+# ## Global Variables
+#
+# Certain regexp-oriented methods assign values to global variables:
+#
+# *   `#match`: see [Method match](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Method+match).
+# *   `#=~`: see [Operator =~](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Operator+-3D~).
+#
+# The affected global variables are:
+#
+# *   `$~`: Returns a MatchData object, or `nil`.
+# *   `$&`: Returns the matched part of the string, or `nil`.
+# *   `$``: Returns the part of the string to the left of the match, or `nil`.
+# *   `$'`: Returns the part of the string to the right of the match, or `nil`.
+# *   `$+`: Returns the last group matched, or `nil`.
+# *   `$1`, `$2`, etc.: Returns the first, second, etc., matched group, or
+#     `nil`. Note that `$0` is quite different; it returns the name of the
+#     currently executing program.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+#     # Matched string, but no matched groups.
+#     'foo bar bar baz'.match('bar')
+#     $~ # => #<MatchData "bar">
+#     $& # => "bar"
+#     $` # => "foo "
+#     $' # => " bar baz"
+#     $+ # => nil
+#     $1 # => nil
+#
+#     # Matched groups.
+#     /s(\w{2}).*(c)/.match('haystack')
+#     $~ # => #<MatchData "stac" 1:"ta" 2:"c">
+#     $& # => "stac"
+#     $` # => "hay"
+#     $' # => "k"
+#     $+ # => "c"
+#     $1 # => "ta"
+#     $2 # => "c"
+#     $3 # => nil
+#
+#     # No match.
+#     'foo'.match('bar')
+#     $~ # => nil
+#     $& # => nil
+#     $` # => nil
+#     $' # => nil
+#     $+ # => nil
+#     $1 # => nil
+#
+# Note that Regexp#match?, String#match?, and Symbol#match? do not set global
+# variables.
+#
+# ## Sources
+#
+# As seen above, the simplest regexp uses a literal expression as its source:
+#
+#     re = /foo/              # => /foo/
+#     re.match('food')        # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#     re.match('good')        # => nil
+#
+# A rich collection of available *subexpressions* gives the regexp great power
+# and flexibility:
+#
+# *   [Special characters](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Special+Characters)
+# *   [Source literals](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Source+Literals)
+# *   [Character classes](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Character+Classes)
+# *   [Shorthand character classes](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Shorthand+Character+Classes)
+# *   [Anchors](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Anchors)
+# *   [Alternation](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Alternation)
+# *   [Quantifiers](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Quantifiers)
+# *   [Groups and captures](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Groups+and+Captures)
+# *   [Unicode](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Unicode)
+# *   [POSIX Bracket Expressions](rdoc-ref:Regexp@POSIX+Bracket+Expressions)
+# *   [Comments](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Comments)
+#
+# ### Special Characters
+#
+# Regexp special characters, called *metacharacters*, have special meanings in
+# certain contexts; depending on the context, these are sometimes
+# metacharacters:
+#
+#     . ? - + * ^ \ | $ ( ) [ ] { }
+#
+# To match a metacharacter literally, backslash-escape it:
+#
+#     # Matches one or more 'o' characters.
+#     /o+/.match('foo')  # => #<MatchData "oo">
+#     # Would match 'o+'.
+#     /o\+/.match('foo') # => nil
+#
+# To match a backslash literally, backslash-escape it:
+#
+#     /\./.match('\.')  # => #<MatchData ".">
+#     /\\./.match('\.') # => #<MatchData "\\.">
+#
+# Method Regexp.escape returns an escaped string:
+#
+#     Regexp.escape('.?-+*^\|$()[]{}')
+#     # => "\\.\\?\\-\\+\\*\\^\\\\\\|\\$\\(\\)\\[\\]\\{\\}"
+#
+# ### Source Literals
+#
+# The source literal largely behaves like a double-quoted string; see
+# [Double-Quoted String
+# Literals](rdoc-ref:syntax/literals.rdoc@Double-Quoted+String+Literals).
+#
+# In particular, a source literal may contain interpolated expressions:
+#
+#     s = 'foo'         # => "foo"
+#     /#{s}/            # => /foo/
+#     /#{s.capitalize}/ # => /Foo/
+#     /#{2 + 2}/        # => /4/
+#
+# There are differences between an ordinary string literal and a source literal;
+# see [Shorthand Character
+# Classes](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Shorthand+Character+Classes).
+#
+# *   `\s` in an ordinary string literal is equivalent to a space character; in
+#     a source literal, it's shorthand for matching a whitespace character.
+# *   In an ordinary string literal, these are (needlessly) escaped characters;
+#     in a source literal, they are shorthands for various matching characters:
+#
+#         \w \W \d \D \h \H \S \R
+#
+# ### Character Classes
+#
+# A *character class* is delimited by square brackets; it specifies that certain
+# characters match at a given point in the target string:
+#
+#     # This character class will match any vowel.
+#     re = /B[aeiou]rd/
+#     re.match('Bird') # => #<MatchData "Bird">
+#     re.match('Bard') # => #<MatchData "Bard">
+#     re.match('Byrd') # => nil
+#
+# A character class may contain hyphen characters to specify ranges of
+# characters:
+#
+#     # These regexps have the same effect.
+#     /[abcdef]/.match('foo') # => #<MatchData "f">
+#     /[a-f]/.match('foo')    # => #<MatchData "f">
+#     /[a-cd-f]/.match('foo') # => #<MatchData "f">
+#
+# When the first character of a character class is a caret (`^`), the sense of
+# the class is inverted: it matches any character *except* those specified.
+#
+#     /[^a-eg-z]/.match('f') # => #<MatchData "f">
+#
+# A character class may contain another character class. By itself this isn't
+# useful because `[a-z[0-9]]` describes the same set as `[a-z0-9]`.
+#
+# However, character classes also support the `&&` operator, which performs set
+# intersection on its arguments. The two can be combined as follows:
+#
+#     /[a-w&&[^c-g]z]/ # ([a-w] AND ([^c-g] OR z))
+#
+# This is equivalent to:
+#
+#     /[abh-w]/
+#
+# ### Shorthand Character Classes
+#
+# Each of the following metacharacters serves as a shorthand for a character
+# class:
+#
+# *   `/./`: Matches any character except a newline:
+#
+#         /./.match('foo') # => #<MatchData "f">
+#         /./.match("\n")  # => nil
+#
+# *   `/./m`: Matches any character, including a newline; see [Multiline
+#     Mode](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Multiline+Mode):
+#
+#         /./m.match("\n") # => #<MatchData "\n">
+#
+# *   `/\w/`: Matches a word character: equivalent to `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`:
+#
+#         /\w/.match(' foo') # => #<MatchData "f">
+#         /\w/.match(' _')   # => #<MatchData "_">
+#         /\w/.match(' ')    # => nil
+#
+# *   `/\W/`: Matches a non-word character: equivalent to `[^a-zA-Z0-9_]`:
+#
+#         /\W/.match(' ') # => #<MatchData " ">
+#         /\W/.match('_') # => nil
+#
+# *   `/\d/`: Matches a digit character: equivalent to `[0-9]`:
+#
+#         /\d/.match('THX1138') # => #<MatchData "1">
+#         /\d/.match('foo')     # => nil
+#
+# *   `/\D/`: Matches a non-digit character: equivalent to `[^0-9]`:
+#
+#         /\D/.match('123Jump!') # => #<MatchData "J">
+#         /\D/.match('123')      # => nil
+#
+# *   `/\h/`: Matches a hexdigit character: equivalent to `[0-9a-fA-F]`:
+#
+#         /\h/.match('xyz fedcba9876543210') # => #<MatchData "f">
+#         /\h/.match('xyz')                  # => nil
+#
+# *   `/\H/`: Matches a non-hexdigit character: equivalent to `[^0-9a-fA-F]`:
+#
+#         /\H/.match('fedcba9876543210xyz') # => #<MatchData "x">
+#         /\H/.match('fedcba9876543210')    # => nil
+#
+# *   `/\s/`: Matches a whitespace character: equivalent to `/[ \t\r\n\f\v]/`:
+#
+#         /\s/.match('foo bar') # => #<MatchData " ">
+#         /\s/.match('foo')     # => nil
+#
+# *   `/\S/`: Matches a non-whitespace character: equivalent to `/[^
+#     \t\r\n\f\v]/`:
+#
+#         /\S/.match(" \t\r\n\f\v foo") # => #<MatchData "f">
+#         /\S/.match(" \t\r\n\f\v")     # => nil
+#
+# *   `/\R/`: Matches a linebreak, platform-independently:
+#
+#         /\R/.match("\r")     # => #<MatchData "\r">     # Carriage return (CR)
+#         /\R/.match("\n")     # => #<MatchData "\n">     # Newline (LF)
+#         /\R/.match("\f")     # => #<MatchData "\f">     # Formfeed (FF)
+#         /\R/.match("\v")     # => #<MatchData "\v">     # Vertical tab (VT)
+#         /\R/.match("\r\n")   # => #<MatchData "\r\n">   # CRLF
+#         /\R/.match("\u0085") # => #<MatchData "\u0085"> # Next line (NEL)
+#         /\R/.match("\u2028") # => #<MatchData "\u2028"> # Line separator (LSEP)
+#         /\R/.match("\u2029") # => #<MatchData "\u2029"> # Paragraph separator (PSEP)
+#
+# ### Anchors
+#
+# An anchor is a metasequence that matches a zero-width position between
+# characters in the target string.
+#
+# For a subexpression with no anchor, matching may begin anywhere in the target
+# string:
+#
+#     /real/.match('surrealist') # => #<MatchData "real">
+#
+# For a subexpression with an anchor, matching must begin at the matched anchor.
+#
+# #### Boundary Anchors
+#
+# Each of these anchors matches a boundary:
+#
+# *   `^`: Matches the beginning of a line:
+#
+#         /^bar/.match("foo\nbar") # => #<MatchData "bar">
+#         /^ar/.match("foo\nbar")  # => nil
+#
+# *   `$`: Matches the end of a line:
+#
+#         /bar$/.match("foo\nbar") # => #<MatchData "bar">
+#         /ba$/.match("foo\nbar")  # => nil
+#
+# *   `\A`: Matches the beginning of the string:
+#
+#         /\Afoo/.match('foo bar')  # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#         /\Afoo/.match(' foo bar') # => nil
+#
+# *   `\Z`: Matches the end of the string; if string ends with a single newline,
+#     it matches just before the ending newline:
+#
+#         /foo\Z/.match('bar foo')     # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#         /foo\Z/.match('foo bar')     # => nil
+#         /foo\Z/.match("bar foo\n")   # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#         /foo\Z/.match("bar foo\n\n") # => nil
+#
+# *   `\z`: Matches the end of the string:
+#
+#         /foo\z/.match('bar foo')   # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#         /foo\z/.match('foo bar')   # => nil
+#         /foo\z/.match("bar foo\n") # => nil
+#
+# *   `\b`: Matches word boundary when not inside brackets; matches backspace
+#     (`"0x08"`) when inside brackets:
+#
+#         /foo\b/.match('foo bar') # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#         /foo\b/.match('foobar')  # => nil
+#
+# *   `\B`: Matches non-word boundary:
+#
+#         /foo\B/.match('foobar')  # => #<MatchData "foo">
+#         /foo\B/.match('foo bar') # => nil
+#
+# *   `\G`: Matches first matching position:
+#
+#     In methods like String#gsub and String#scan, it changes on each iteration.
+#     It initially matches the beginning of subject, and in each following
+#     iteration it matches where the last match finished.
+#
+#         "    a b c".gsub(/ /, '_')   # => "____a_b_c"
+#         "    a b c".gsub(/\G /, '_') # => "____a b c"
+#
+#     In methods like Regexp#match and String#match that take an optional
+#     offset, it matches where the search begins.
+#
+#         "hello, world".match(/,/, 3)   # => #<MatchData ",">
+#         "hello, world".match(/\G,/, 3) # => nil
+#
+# #### Lookaround Anchors
+#
+# Lookahead anchors:
+#
+# *   `(?=*pat*)`: Positive lookahead assertion: ensures that the following
+#     characters match *pat*, but doesn't include those characters in the
+#     matched substring.
+#
+# *   `(?!*pat*)`: Negative lookahead assertion: ensures that the following
+#     characters *do not* match *pat*, but doesn't include those characters in
+#     the matched substring.
+#
+# Lookbehind anchors:
+#
+# *   `(?<=*pat*)`: Positive lookbehind assertion: ensures that the preceding
+#     characters match *pat*, but doesn't include those characters in the
+#     matched substring.
+#
+# *   `(?<!*pat*)`: Negative lookbehind assertion: ensures that the preceding
+#     characters do not match *pat*, but doesn't include those characters in the
+#     matched substring.
+#
+# The pattern below uses positive lookahead and positive lookbehind to match
+# text appearing in **...** tags without including the tags in the match:
+#
+#     /(?<=<b>)\w+(?=<\/b>)/.match("Fortune favors the <b>bold</b>.")
+#     # => #<MatchData "bold">
+#
+# #### Match-Reset Anchor
+#
+# *   `\K`: Match reset: the matched content preceding `\K` in the regexp is
+#     excluded from the result. For example, the following two regexps are
+#     almost equivalent:
+#
+#         /ab\Kc/.match('abc')    # => #<MatchData "c">
+#         /(?<=ab)c/.match('abc') # => #<MatchData "c">
+#
+#     These match same string and `$&` equals `'c'`, while the matched position
+#     is different.
+#
+#     As are the following two regexps:
+#
+#         /(a)\K(b)\Kc/
+#         /(?<=(?<=(a))(b))c/
+#
+# ### Alternation
+#
+# The vertical bar metacharacter (`|`) may be used within parentheses to express
+# alternation: two or more subexpressions any of which may match the target
+# string.
+#
+# Two alternatives:
+#
+#     re = /(a|b)/
+#     re.match('foo') # => nil
+#     re.match('bar') # => #<MatchData "b" 1:"b">
+#
+# Four alternatives:
+#
+#     re = /(a|b|c|d)/
+#     re.match('shazam') # => #<MatchData "a" 1:"a">
+#     re.match('cold')   # => #<MatchData "c" 1:"c">
+#
+# Each alternative is a subexpression, and may be composed of other
+# subexpressions:
+#
+#     re = /([a-c]|[x-z])/
+#     re.match('bar') # => #<MatchData "b" 1:"b">
+#     re.match('ooz') # => #<MatchData "z" 1:"z">
+#
+# Method Regexp.union provides a convenient way to construct a regexp with
+# alternatives.
+#
+# ### Quantifiers
+#
+# A simple regexp matches one character:
+#
+#     /\w/.match('Hello')  # => #<MatchData "H">
+#
+# An added *quantifier* specifies how many matches are required or allowed:
+#
+# *   `*` - Matches zero or more times:
+#
+#         /\w*/.match('')
+#         # => #<MatchData "">
+#         /\w*/.match('x')
+#         # => #<MatchData "x">
+#         /\w*/.match('xyz')
+#         # => #<MatchData "yz">
+#
+# *   `+` - Matches one or more times:
+#
+#         /\w+/.match('')    # => nil
+#         /\w+/.match('x')   # => #<MatchData "x">
+#         /\w+/.match('xyz') # => #<MatchData "xyz">
+#
+# *   `?` - Matches zero or one times:
+#
+#         /\w?/.match('')    # => #<MatchData "">
+#         /\w?/.match('x')   # => #<MatchData "x">
+#         /\w?/.match('xyz') # => #<MatchData "x">
+#
+# *   `{`*n*`}` - Matches exactly *n* times:
+#
+#         /\w{2}/.match('')    # => nil
+#         /\w{2}/.match('x')   # => nil
+#         /\w{2}/.match('xyz') # => #<MatchData "xy">
+#
+# *   `{`*min*`,}` - Matches *min* or more times:
+#
+#         /\w{2,}/.match('')    # => nil
+#         /\w{2,}/.match('x')   # => nil
+#         /\w{2,}/.match('xy')  # => #<MatchData "xy">
+#         /\w{2,}/.match('xyz') # => #<MatchData "xyz">
+#
+# *   `{,`*max*`}` - Matches *max* or fewer times:
+#
+#         /\w{,2}/.match('')    # => #<MatchData "">
+#         /\w{,2}/.match('x')   # => #<MatchData "x">
+#         /\w{,2}/.match('xyz') # => #<MatchData "xy">
+#
+# *   `{`*min*`,`*max*`}` - Matches at least *min* times and at most *max*
+#     times:
+#
+#         /\w{1,2}/.match('')    # => nil
+#         /\w{1,2}/.match('x')   # => #<MatchData "x">
+#         /\w{1,2}/.match('xyz') # => #<MatchData "xy">
+#
+# #### Greedy, Lazy, or Possessive Matching
+#
+# Quantifier matching may be greedy, lazy, or possessive:
+#
+# *   In *greedy* matching, as many occurrences as possible are matched while
+#     still allowing the overall match to succeed. Greedy quantifiers: `*`, `+`,
+#     `?`, `{min, max}` and its variants.
+# *   In *lazy* matching, the minimum number of occurrences are matched. Lazy
+#     quantifiers: `*?`, `+?`, `??`, `{min, max}?` and its variants.
+# *   In *possessive* matching, once a match is found, there is no backtracking;
+#     that match is retained, even if it jeopardises the overall match.
+#     Possessive quantifiers: `*+`, `++`, `?+`. Note that `{min, max}` and its
+#     variants do *not* support possessive matching.

+# ### Groups and Captures
+#
+# A simple regexp has (at most) one match:
+#
+#     re = /\d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d/
+#     re.match('1943-02-04')      # => #<MatchData "1943-02-04">
+#     re.match('1943-02-04').size # => 1
+#     re.match('foo')             # => nil
+#
+# Adding one or more pairs of parentheses, `(*subexpression*)`, defines
+# *groups*, which may result in multiple matched substrings, called *captures*:
+#
+#     re = /(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)/
+#     re.match('1943-02-04')      # => #<MatchData "1943-02-04" 1:"1943" 2:"02" 3:"04">
+#     re.match('1943-02-04').size # => 4
+#
+# The first capture is the entire matched string; the other captures are the
+# matched substrings from the groups.
+#
+# A group may have a [quantifier](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Quantifiers):
+#
+#     re = /July 4(th)?/
+#     re.match('July 4')   # => #<MatchData "July 4" 1:nil>
+#     re.match('July 4th') # => #<MatchData "July 4th" 1:"th">
+#
+#     re = /(foo)*/
+#     re.match('')       # => #<MatchData "" 1:nil>
+#     re.match('foo')    # => #<MatchData "foo" 1:"foo">
+#     re.match('foofoo') # => #<MatchData "foofoo" 1:"foo">
+#
+#     re = /(foo)+/
+#     re.match('')       # => nil
+#     re.match('foo')    # => #<MatchData "foo" 1:"foo">
+#     re.match('foofoo') # => #<MatchData "foofoo" 1:"foo">
+#
+# The returned MatchData object gives access to the matched substrings:
+#
+#     re = /(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)/
+#     md = re.match('1943-02-04')
+#     # => #<MatchData "1943-02-04" 1:"1943" 2:"02" 3:"04">
+#     md[0] # => "1943-02-04"
+#     md[1] # => "1943"
+#     md[2] # => "02"
+#     md[3] # => "04"
+#
+# #### Non-Capturing Groups
+#
+# A group may be made non-capturing; it is still a group (and, for example, can
+# have a quantifier), but its matching substring is not included among the
+# captures.
+#
+# A non-capturing group begins with `?:` (inside the parentheses):
+#
+#     # Don't capture the year.
+#     re = /(?:\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)/
+#     md = re.match('1943-02-04') # => #<MatchData "1943-02-04" 1:"02" 2:"04">
+#
+# #### Backreferences
+#
+# A group match may also be referenced within the regexp itself; such a
+# reference is called a `backreference`:
+#
+#     /[csh](..) [csh]\1 in/.match('The cat sat in the hat')
+#     # => #<MatchData "cat sat in" 1:"at">
+#
+# This table shows how each subexpression in the regexp above matches a
+# substring in the target string:
+#
+#     | Subexpression in Regexp   | Matching Substring in Target String |
+#     |---------------------------|-------------------------------------|
+#     |       First '[csh]'       |            Character 'c'            |
+#     |          '(..)'           |        First substring 'at'         |
+#     |      First space ' '      |      First space character ' '      |
+#     |       Second '[csh]'      |            Character 's'            |
+#     | '\1' (backreference 'at') |        Second substring 'at'        |
+#     |           ' in'           |            Substring ' in'          |
+#
+# A regexp may contain any number of groups:
+#
+# *   For a large number of groups:
+#
+#     *   The ordinary `\*n`* notation applies only for *n* in range (1..9).
+#     *   The `MatchData[*n*]` notation applies for any non-negative *n*.
+#
+# *   `\0` is a special backreference, referring to the entire matched string;
+#     it may not be used within the regexp itself, but may be used outside it
+#     (for example, in a substitution method call):
+#
+#         'The cat sat in the hat'.gsub(/[csh]at/, '\0s')
+#         # => "The cats sats in the hats"
+#
+# #### Named Captures
+#
+# As seen above, a capture can be referred to by its number. A capture can also
+# have a name, prefixed as `?<*name*>` or `?'*name*'`, and the name (symbolized)
+# may be used as an index in `MatchData[]`:
+#
+#     md = /\$(?<dollars>\d+)\.(?'cents'\d+)/.match("$3.67")
+#     # => #<MatchData "$3.67" dollars:"3" cents:"67">
+#     md[:dollars]  # => "3"
+#     md[:cents]    # => "67"
+#     # The capture numbers are still valid.
+#     md[2]         # => "67"
+#
+# When a regexp contains a named capture, there are no unnamed captures:
+#
+#     /\$(?<dollars>\d+)\.(\d+)/.match("$3.67")
+#     # => #<MatchData "$3.67" dollars:"3">
+#
+# A named group may be backreferenced as `\k<*name*>`:
+#
+#     /(?<vowel>[aeiou]).\k<vowel>.\k<vowel>/.match('ototomy')
+#     # => #<MatchData "ototo" vowel:"o">
+#
+# When (and only when) a regexp contains named capture groups and appears before
+# the `=~` operator, the captured substrings are assigned to local variables
+# with corresponding names:
+#
+#     /\$(?<dollars>\d+)\.(?<cents>\d+)/ =~ '$3.67'
+#     dollars # => "3"
+#     cents   # => "67"
+#
+# Method Regexp#named_captures returns a hash of the capture names and
+# substrings; method Regexp#names returns an array of the capture names.
+#
+# #### Atomic Grouping
+#
+# A group may be made *atomic* with `(?>`*subexpression*`)`.
+#
+# This causes the subexpression to be matched independently of the rest of the
+# expression, so that the matched substring becomes fixed for the remainder of
+# the match, unless the entire subexpression must be abandoned and subsequently
+# revisited.
+#
+# In this way *subexpression* is treated as a non-divisible whole. Atomic
+# grouping is typically used to optimise patterns to prevent needless
+# backtracking .
+#
+# Example (without atomic grouping):
+#
+#     /".*"/.match('"Quote"') # => #<MatchData "\"Quote\"">
+#
+# Analysis:
+#
+# 1.  The leading subexpression `"` in the pattern matches the first character
+#     `"` in the target string.
+# 2.  The next subexpression `.*` matches the next substring `Quote“` (including
+#     the trailing double-quote).
+# 3.  Now there is nothing left in the target string to match the trailing
+#     subexpression `"` in the pattern; this would cause the overall match to
+#     fail.
+# 4.  The matched substring is backtracked by one position: `Quote`.
+# 5.  The final subexpression `"` now matches the final substring `"`, and the
+#     overall match succeeds.
+#
+# If subexpression `.*` is grouped atomically, the backtracking is disabled, and
+# the overall match fails:
+#
+#     /"(?>.*)"/.match('"Quote"') # => nil
+#
+# Atomic grouping can affect performance; see [Atomic
+# Group](https://www.regular-expressions.info/atomic.html).
+#
+# #### Subexpression Calls
+#
+# As seen above, a backreference number (`\*n`*) or name (`\k<*name*>`) gives
+# access to a captured *substring*; the corresponding regexp *subexpression* may
+# also be accessed, via the number (`\\g*n`*) or name (`\g<*name*>`):
+#
+#     /\A(?<paren>\(\g<paren>*\))*\z/.match('(())')
+#     # ^1
+#     #      ^2
+#     #           ^3
+#     #                 ^4
+#     #      ^5
+#     #           ^6
+#     #                      ^7
+#     #                       ^8
+#     #                       ^9
+#     #                           ^10
+#
+# The pattern:
+#
+# 1.  Matches at the beginning of the string, i.e. before the first character.
+# 2.  Enters a named group `paren`.
+# 3.  Matches the first character in the string, `'('`.
+# 4.  Calls the `paren` group again, i.e. recurses back to the  second step.
+# 5.  Re-enters the `paren` group.
+# 6.  Matches the second character in the string, `'('`.
+# 7.  Attempts to call `paren` a third time, but fails because doing so would
+#     prevent an overall successful match.
+# 8.  Matches the third character in the string, `')'`; marks the end of the
+#     second recursive call
+# 9.  Matches the fourth character in the string, `')'`.
+# 10. Matches the end of the string.
+#
+# See [Subexpression
+# calls](https://learnbyexample.github.io/Ruby_Regexp/groupings-and-backreferenc
+# es.html?highlight=subexpression#subexpression-calls).
+#
+# #### Conditionals
+#
+# The conditional construct takes the form `(?(*cond*)*yes*|*no*)`, where:
+#
+# *   *cond* may be a capture number or name.
+# *   The match to be applied is *yes* if *cond* is captured; otherwise the
+#     match to be applied is *no*.
+# *   If not needed, `|*no`* may be omitted.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+#     re = /\A(foo)?(?(1)(T)|(F))\z/
+#     re.match('fooT') # => #<MatchData "fooT" 1:"foo" 2:"T" 3:nil>
+#     re.match('F')    # => #<MatchData "F" 1:nil 2:nil 3:"F">
+#     re.match('fooF') # => nil
+#     re.match('T')    # => nil
+#
+#     re = /\A(?<xyzzy>foo)?(?(<xyzzy>)(T)|(F))\z/
+#     re.match('fooT') # => #<MatchData "fooT" xyzzy:"foo">
+#     re.match('F')    # => #<MatchData "F" xyzzy:nil>
+#     re.match('fooF') # => nil
+#     re.match('T')    # => nil
+#
+# #### Absence Operator
+#
+# The absence operator is a special group that matches anything which does *not*
+# match the contained subexpressions.
+#
+#     /(?~real)/.match('surrealist') # => #<MatchData "surrea">
+#     /(?~real)ist/.match('surrealist') # => #<MatchData "ealist">
+#     /sur(?~real)ist/.match('surrealist') # => nil
+#
+# ### Unicode
+#
+# #### Unicode Properties
+#
+# The `/\p{*property_name*}/` construct (with lowercase `p`) matches characters
+# using a Unicode property name, much like a character class; property `Alpha`
+# specifies alphabetic characters:
+#
+#     /\p{Alpha}/.match('a') # => #<MatchData "a">
+#     /\p{Alpha}/.match('1') # => nil
+#
+# A property can be inverted by prefixing the name with a caret character (`^`):
+#
+#     /\p{^Alpha}/.match('1') # => #<MatchData "1">
+#     /\p{^Alpha}/.match('a') # => nil
+#
+# Or by using `\P` (uppercase `P`):
+#
+#     /\P{Alpha}/.match('1') # => #<MatchData "1">
+#     /\P{Alpha}/.match('a') # => nil
+#
+# See [Unicode Properties](rdoc-ref:regexp/unicode_properties.rdoc) for regexps
+# based on the numerous properties.
+#
+# Some commonly-used properties correspond to POSIX bracket expressions:
+#
+# *   `/\p{Alnum}/`: Alphabetic and numeric character
+# *   `/\p{Alpha}/`: Alphabetic character
+# *   `/\p{Blank}/`: Space or tab
+# *   `/\p{Cntrl}/`: Control character
+# *   `/\p{Digit}/`: Digit characters, and similar)
+# *   `/\p{Lower}/`: Lowercase alphabetical character
+# *   `/\p{Print}/`: Like `\p{Graph}`, but includes the space character
+# *   `/\p{Punct}/`: Punctuation character
+# *   `/\p{Space}/`: Whitespace character (`[:blank:]`, newline, carriage
+#     return, etc.)
+# *   `/\p{Upper}/`: Uppercase alphabetical
+# *   `/\p{XDigit}/`: Digit allowed in a hexadecimal number (i.e., 0-9a-fA-F)
+#
+# These are also commonly used:
+#
+# *   `/\p{Emoji}/`: Unicode emoji.
+# *   `/\p{Graph}/`: Non-blank character (excludes spaces, control characters,
+#     and similar).
+# *   `/\p{Word}/`: A member in one of these Unicode character categories (see
+#     below) or having one of these Unicode properties:
+#
+#     *   Unicode categories:
+#         *   `Mark` (`M`).
+#         *   `Decimal Number` (`Nd`)
+#         *   `Connector Punctuation` (`Pc`).
+#
+#     *   Unicode properties:
+#         *   `Alpha`
+#         *   `Join_Control`
+#
+# *   `/\p{ASCII}/`: A character in the ASCII character set.
+# *   `/\p{Any}/`: Any Unicode character (including unassigned characters).
+# *   `/\p{Assigned}/`: An assigned character.
+#
+# #### Unicode Character Categories
+#
+# A Unicode character category name:
+#
+# *   May be either its full name or its abbreviated name.
+# *   Is case-insensitive.
+# *   Treats a space, a hyphen, and an underscore as equivalent.
+#
+# Examples:
+#
+#     /\p{lu}/                # => /\p{lu}/
+#     /\p{LU}/                # => /\p{LU}/
+#     /\p{Uppercase Letter}/  # => /\p{Uppercase Letter}/
+#     /\p{Uppercase_Letter}/  # => /\p{Uppercase_Letter}/

+#     [supported blocks](http://www.unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/Blocks.txt).
+#
+# ### POSIX Bracket Expressions
+#
+# A POSIX *bracket expression* is also similar to a character class. These
+# expressions provide a portable alternative to the above, with the added
+# benefit of encompassing non-ASCII characters:
+#
+# *   `/\d/` matches only ASCII decimal digits `0` through `9`.
+# *   `/[[:digit:]]/` matches any character in the Unicode `Decimal Number`
+#     (`Nd`) category; see below.
+#
+# The POSIX bracket expressions:
+#
+# *   `/[[:digit:]]/`: Matches a [Unicode
+#     digit](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/category/Nd):
+#
+#         /[[:digit:]]/.match('9')       # => #<MatchData "9">
+#         /[[:digit:]]/.match("\u1fbf9") # => #<MatchData "9">
+#
+# *   `/[[:xdigit:]]/`: Matches a digit allowed in a hexadecimal number;
+#     equivalent to `[0-9a-fA-F]`.
+#
+# *   `/[[:upper:]]/`: Matches a [Unicode uppercase
+#     letter](https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/category/Lu):

+# ### Comments
+#
+# A comment may be included in a regexp pattern using the `(?#`*comment*`)`
+# construct, where *comment* is a substring that is to be ignored. arbitrary
+# text ignored by the regexp engine:
+#
+#     /foo(?#Ignore me)bar/.match('foobar') # => #<MatchData "foobar">
+#
+# The comment may not include an unescaped terminator character.
+#
+# See also [Extended Mode](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Extended+Mode).
+#
+# ## Modes
+#
+# Each of these modifiers sets a mode for the regexp:
+#
+# *   `i`: `/*pattern*/i` sets [Case-Insensitive
+#     Mode](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Case-Insensitive+Mode).
+# *   `m`: `/*pattern*/m` sets [Multiline Mode](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Multiline+Mode).
+# *   `x`: `/*pattern*/x` sets [Extended Mode](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Extended+Mode).
+# *   `o`: `/*pattern*/o` sets [Interpolation
+#     Mode](rdoc-ref:Regexp@Interpolation+Mode).
+#
+# Any, all, or none of these may be applied.
+#
+# Modifiers `i`, `m`, and `x` may be applied to subexpressions:
+#
+# *   `(?*modifier*)` turns the mode "on" for ensuing subexpressions
+# *   `(?-*modifier*)` turns the mode "off" for ensuing subexpressions
+# *   `(?*modifier*:*subexp*)` turns the mode "on" for *subexp* within the group
+# *   `(?-*modifier*:*subexp*)` turns the mode "off" for *subexp* within the
+#     group
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#     re = /(?i)te(?-i)st/
+#     re.match('test') # => #<MatchData "test">
+#     re.match('TEst') # => #<MatchData "TEst">
+#     re.match('TEST') # => nil
+#     re.match('teST') # => nil
+#
+#     re = /t(?i:e)st/
+#     re.match('test') # => #<MatchData "test">
+#     re.match('tEst') # => #<MatchData "tEst">
+#     re.match('tEST') # => nil
+#
+# Method Regexp#options returns an integer whose value showing the settings for
+# case-insensitivity mode, multiline mode, and extended mode.
+#
+# ### Case-Insensitive Mode
+#
+# By default, a regexp is case-sensitive:
+#
+#     /foo/.match('FOO')  # => nil
+#
+# Modifier `i` enables case-insensitive mode:
+#
+#     /foo/i.match('FOO')
+#     # => #<MatchData "FOO">
+#
+# Method Regexp#casefold? returns whether the mode is case-insensitive.
+#
+# ### Multiline Mode
+#
+# The multiline-mode in Ruby is what is commonly called a "dot-all mode":
+#
+# *   Without the `m` modifier, the subexpression `.` does not match newlines:
+#
+#         /a.c/.match("a\nc")  # => nil
+#
+# *   With the modifier, it does match:
+#
+#         /a.c/m.match("a\nc") # => #<MatchData "a\nc">
+#
+# Unlike other languages, the modifier `m` does not affect the anchors `^` and
+# `$`. These anchors always match at line-boundaries in Ruby.
+#
+# ### Extended Mode
+#
+# Modifier `x` enables extended mode, which means that:
+#
+# *   Literal white space in the pattern is to be ignored.
+# *   Character `#` marks the remainder of its containing line as a comment,
+#     which is also to be ignored for matching purposes.
+#
+# In extended mode, whitespace and comments may be used to form a
+# self-documented regexp.
+#
+# Regexp not in extended mode (matches some Roman numerals):
+#
+#     pattern = '^M{0,3}(CM|CD|D?C{0,3})(XC|XL|L?X{0,3})(IX|IV|V?I{0,3})$'
+#     re = /#{pattern}/
+#     re.match('MCMXLIII') # => #<MatchData "MCMXLIII" 1:"CM" 2:"XL" 3:"III">
+#
+# Regexp in extended mode:
+#
+#     pattern = <<-EOT
+#       ^                   # beginning of string
+#       M{0,3}              # thousands - 0 to 3 Ms
+#       (CM|CD|D?C{0,3})    # hundreds - 900 (CM), 400 (CD), 0-300 (0 to 3 Cs),
+#                           #            or 500-800 (D, followed by 0 to 3 Cs)
+#       (XC|XL|L?X{0,3})    # tens - 90 (XC), 40 (XL), 0-30 (0 to 3 Xs),
+#                           #        or 50-80 (L, followed by 0 to 3 Xs)
+#       (IX|IV|V?I{0,3})    # ones - 9 (IX), 4 (IV), 0-3 (0 to 3 Is),
+#                           #        or 5-8 (V, followed by 0 to 3 Is)
+#       $                   # end of string
+#     EOT
+#     re = /#{pattern}/x
+#     re.match('MCMXLIII') # => #<MatchData "MCMXLIII" 1:"CM" 2:"XL" 3:"III">
+#
+# ### Interpolation Mode
+#
+# Modifier `o` means that the first time a literal regexp with interpolations is
+# encountered, the generated Regexp object is saved and used for all future
+# evaluations of that literal regexp. Without modifier `o`, the generated Regexp
+# is not saved, so each evaluation of the literal regexp generates a new Regexp
+# object.
+#
+# Without modifier `o`:
+#
+#     def letters; sleep 5; /[A-Z][a-z]/; end
+#     words = %w[abc def xyz]
+#     start = Time.now
+#     words.each {|word| word.match(/\A[#{letters}]+\z/) }
+#     Time.now - start # => 15.0174892
+#
+# With modifier `o`:
+#
+#     start = Time.now
+#     words.each {|word| word.match(/\A[#{letters}]+\z/o) }
+#     Time.now - start # => 5.0010866
+#
+# Note that if the literal regexp does not have interpolations, the `o` behavior
+# is the default.
+#
+# ## Encodings
+#
+# By default, a regexp with only US-ASCII characters has US-ASCII encoding:
+#
+#     re = /foo/
+#     re.source.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
+#     re.encoding        # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
+#
+# A regular expression containing non-US-ASCII characters is assumed to use the
+# source encoding. This can be overridden with one of the following modifiers.
+#
+# *   `/*pat*/n`: US-ASCII if only containing US-ASCII characters, otherwise
+#     ASCII-8BIT:
+#
+#         /foo/n.encoding     # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
+#         /foo\xff/n.encoding # => #<Encoding:ASCII-8BIT>
+#         /foo\x7f/n.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
+#
+# *   `/*pat*/u`: UTF-8
+#
+#         /foo/u.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
+#
+# *   `/*pat*/e`: EUC-JP
+#
+#         /foo/e.encoding # => #<Encoding:EUC-JP>
+#
+# *   `/*pat*/s`: Windows-31J
+#
+#         /foo/s.encoding # => #<Encoding:Windows-31J>
+#
+# A regexp can be matched against a target string when either:
+#
+# *   They have the same encoding.
+# *   The regexp's encoding is a fixed encoding and the string contains only
+#     ASCII characters. Method Regexp#fixed_encoding? returns whether the regexp
+#     has a *fixed* encoding.
+#
+# If a match between incompatible encodings is attempted an
+# `Encoding::CompatibilityError` exception is raised.
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#     re = eval("# encoding: ISO-8859-1\n/foo\\xff?/")
+#     re.encoding                 # => #<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>
+#     re =~ "foo".encode("UTF-8") # => 0
+#     re =~ "foo\u0100"           # Raises Encoding::CompatibilityError
+#
+# The encoding may be explicitly fixed by including Regexp::FIXEDENCODING in the
+# second argument for Regexp.new:
+#
+#     # Regexp with encoding ISO-8859-1.
+#     re = Regexp.new("a".force_encoding('iso-8859-1'), Regexp::FIXEDENCODING)
+#     re.encoding  # => #<Encoding:ISO-8859-1>
+#     # Target string with encoding UTF-8.
+#     s = "a\u3042"
+#     s.encoding   # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
+#     re.match(s)  # Raises Encoding::CompatibilityError.
+#
+# ## Timeouts
+#
+# When either a regexp source or a target string comes from untrusted input,
+# malicious values could become a denial-of-service attack; to prevent such an
+# attack, it is wise to set a timeout.
+#
+# Regexp has two timeout values:
+#
+# *   A class default timeout, used for a regexp whose instance timeout is
+#     `nil`; this default is initially `nil`, and may be set by method
+#     Regexp.timeout=:
+#
+#         Regexp.timeout # => nil
+#         Regexp.timeout = 3.0
+#         Regexp.timeout # => 3.0
+#
+# *   An instance timeout, which defaults to `nil` and may be set in Regexp.new:
+#
+#         re = Regexp.new('foo', timeout: 5.0)
+#         re.timeout # => 5.0
+#
+# When regexp.timeout is `nil`, the timeout "falls through" to Regexp.timeout;
+# when regexp.timeout is non-`nil`, that value controls timing out:
+#
+#     | regexp.timeout Value | Regexp.timeout Value |            Result           |
+#     |----------------------|----------------------|-----------------------------|
+#     |         nil          |          nil         |       Never times out.      |
+#     |         nil          |         Float        | Times out in Float seconds. |
+#     |        Float         |          Any         | Times out in Float seconds. |
+#
+# ## Optimization
+#
+# For certain values of the pattern and target string, matching time can grow
+# polynomially or exponentially in relation to the input size; the potential
+# vulnerability arising from this is the [regular expression
+# denial-of-service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReDoS) (ReDoS) attack.
+#
+# Regexp matching can apply an optimization to prevent ReDoS attacks. When the
+# optimization is applied, matching time increases linearly (not polynomially or
+# exponentially) in relation to the input size, and a ReDoS attach is not
+# possible.
+#
+# This optimization is applied if the pattern meets these criteria:
+#
+# *   No backreferences.
+# *   No subexpression calls.
+# *   No nested lookaround anchors or atomic groups.
+# *   No nested quantifiers with counting (i.e. no nested `{n}`, `{min,}`,
+#     `{,max}`, or `{min,max}` style quantifiers)
+#
+# You can use method Regexp.linear_time? to determine whether a pattern meets
+# these criteria:
+#
+#     Regexp.linear_time?(/a*/)     # => true
+#     Regexp.linear_time?('a*')     # => true
+#     Regexp.linear_time?(/(a*)\1/) # => false
+#
+# However, an untrusted source may not be safe even if the method returns
+# `true`, because the optimization uses memoization (which may invoke large
+# memory consumption).
