 *
 * There are four classes and three objects, with most of them being members of
 * Regex companion object. [[scala.util.matching.Regex]] is the class users instantiate
 * to do regular expression matching.
 *
 * The remaining classes and objects in the package are used in the following way:
 *
 * * The companion object to [[scala.util.matching.Regex]] just contains the other members.
 * * [[scala.util.matching.Regex.Match]] makes more information about a match available.
 * * [[scala.util.matching.Regex.MatchIterator]] is used to iterate over multiple matches.
 * * [[scala.util.matching.Regex.MatchData]] is just a base trait for the above classes.
 * * [[scala.util.matching.Regex.Groups]] extracts group from a [[scala.util.matching.Regex.Match]]
 *   without recomputing the match.
 * * [[scala.util.matching.Regex.Match]] converts a [[scala.util.matching.Regex.Match]]
 *   into a [[java.lang.String]].

import scala.collection.AbstractIterator
import java.util.regex.{ Pattern, Matcher }

/** A regular expression is used to determine whether a string matches a pattern
 *  and, if it does, to extract or transform the parts that match.
 *
 *  This class delegates to the [[java.util.regex]] package of the Java Platform.
 *  See the documentation for [[java.util.regex.Pattern]] for details about
 *  the regular expression syntax for pattern strings.
 *
 *  An instance of `Regex` represents a compiled regular expression pattern.
 *  Since compilation is expensive, frequently used `Regex`es should be constructed
 *  once, outside of loops and perhaps in a companion object.
 *
 *  The canonical way to create a `Regex` is by using the method `r`, provided
 *  implicitly for strings:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val date = """(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)""".r
 *  }}}
 *
 *  Since escapes are not processed in multi-line string literals, using triple quotes
 *  avoids having to escape the backslash character, so that `"\\d"` can be written `"""\d"""`.
 *
 *  To extract the capturing groups when a `Regex` is matched, use it as
 *  an extractor in a pattern match:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  "2004-01-20" match {
 *    case date(year, month, day) => s"$year was a good year for PLs."
 *  }
 *  }}}
 *
 *  To check only whether the `Regex` matches, ignoring any groups,
 *  use a sequence wildcard:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  "2004-01-20" match {
 *    case date(_*) => "It's a date!"
 *  }
 *  }}}
 *
 *  That works because a `Regex` extractor produces a sequence of strings.
 *  Extracting only the year from a date could also be expressed with
 *  a sequence wildcard:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  "2004-01-20" match {
 *    case date(year, _*) => s"$year was a good year for PLs."
 *  }
 *  }}}
 *
 *  In a pattern match, `Regex` normally matches the entire input.
 *  However, an unanchored `Regex` finds the pattern anywhere
 *  in the input.
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val embeddedDate = date.unanchored
 *  "Date: 2004-01-20 17:25:18 GMT (10 years, 28 weeks, 5 days, 17 hours and 51 minutes ago)" match {
 *    case embeddedDate("2004", "01", "20") => "A Scala is born."
 *  }
 *  }}}
 *
 *  To find or replace matches of the pattern, use the various find and replace methods.
 *  There is a flavor of each method that produces matched strings and
 *  another that produces `Match` objects.
 *
 *  For example, pattern matching with an unanchored `Regex`, as in the previous example,
 *  is the same as using `findFirstMatchIn`, except that the findFirst methods return an `Option`,
 *  or `None` for no match:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val dates = "Important dates in history: 2004-01-20, 1958-09-05, 2010-10-06, 2011-07-15"
 *  val firstDate = date findFirstIn dates getOrElse "No date found."
 *  val firstYear = for (m <- date findFirstMatchIn dates) yield m group 1
 *  }}}
 *
 *  To find all matches:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val allYears = for (m <- date findAllMatchIn dates) yield m group 1
 *  }}}
 *
 *  But `findAllIn` returns a special iterator of strings that can be queried for the `MatchData`
 *  of the last match:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val mi = date findAllIn dates
 *  val oldies = mi filter (_ => (mi group 1).toInt < 1960) map (s => s"$s: An oldie but goodie.")
 *  }}}
 *
 *  Note that `findAllIn` finds matches that don't overlap. (See [[findAllIn]] for more examples.)
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val num = """(\d+)""".r
 *  val all = (num findAllIn "123").toList  // List("123"), not List("123", "23", "3")
 *  }}}
 *
 *  Text replacement can be performed unconditionally or as a function of the current match:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val redacted    = date replaceAllIn (dates, "XXXX-XX-XX")
 *  val yearsOnly   = date replaceAllIn (dates, m => m group 1)
 *  val months      = (0 to 11) map { i => val c = Calendar.getInstance; c.set(2014, i, 1); f"$c%tb" }
 *  val reformatted = date replaceAllIn (dates, _ match { case date(y,m,d) => f"${months(m.toInt - 1)} $d, $y" })
 *  }}}
 *
 *  Pattern matching the `Match` against the `Regex` that created it does not reapply the `Regex`.
 *  In the expression for `reformatted`, each `date` match is computed once. But it is possible to apply a
 *  `Regex` to a `Match` resulting from a different pattern:
 *
 *  {{{
 *  val docSpree = """2011(?:-\d{2}){2}""".r
 *  val docView  = date replaceAllIn (dates, _ match {
 *    case docSpree() => "Historic doc spree!"
 *    case _          => "Something else happened"
 *  })
 *  }}}
