Name
  regex.c - Regular Expression Parser and Recognizer for TADS
Function
  Parses and recognizes regular expressions
Notes
  Regular expression syntax:

     abc|def    either abc or def
     (abc)      abc
     abc+       abc, abcc, abccc, ...
     abc*       ab, abc, abcc, ...
     abc?       ab or abc
     .          any single character
     abc$       abc at the end of the line
     ^abc       abc at the beginning of the line
     %^abc      literally ^abc
     [abcx-z]   matches a, b, c, x, y, or z
     [^abcx-z]  matches any character except a, b, c, x, y, or z
     [^]-q]     matches any character except ], -, or q

  Note that using ']' or '-' in a character range expression requires
  special ordering.  If ']' is to be used, it must be the first character
  after the '^', if present, within the brackets.  If '-' is to be used,
  it must be the first character after the '^' and/or ']', if present.

  '%' is used to escape the special characters: | . ( ) * ? + ^ $ % [
  (We use '%' rather than a backslash because it's less trouble to
  enter in a TADS string -- a backslash needs to be quoted with another
  backslash, which is error-prone and hard to read.  '%' doesn't need
  any special quoting in a TADS string, which makes it a lot more
  readable.)

  In addition, '%' is used to introduce additional special sequences:

     %1         text matching first parenthesized expression
     %9         text matching ninth parenthesized experssion
     %<         matches at the beginning of a word only
     %>         matches at the end of a word only
     %w         matches any word character
     %W         matches any non-word character
     %b         matches at any word boundary (beginning or end of word)
     %B         matches except at a word boundary

  For the word matching sequences, a word is any sequence of letters and
  numbers.

/*
 *   A "machine" (i.e., a finite state automaton) is a set of state
 *   transition tuples.  A tuple has three elements: the state ID, the ID
 *   of the state that we transition to, and the condition for the
 *   transition.  The condition is simply the character that we must match
 *   to make the transition, or a special distinguished symbol "epsilon,"
 *   which refers to a transition with no input character consumed.
 *   
 *   The primitive elements of our machines guarantee that we never have
 *   more than two transitions out of a particular state, so we can
 *   denormalize the representation of a state by storing the two possible
 *   tuples for that state in a single combined tuple.  This has the
 *   performance advantage that we can use the state ID as an index into
 *   an array of state tuples.
 *   
 *   A particular machine always has a single initial and single final
 *   (successful) state, so we can define a machine by its initial and
 *   final state ID's.
