/// A compiled regular expression
///
/// It is represented as either a sequence of bytecode instructions (dynamic)
/// or as a specialized Rust function (native). It can be used to search, split
/// or replace text. All searching is done with an implicit `.*?` at the
/// beginning and end of an expression. To force an expression to match the
/// whole string (or a prefix or a suffix), you must use an anchor like `^` or
/// `$` (or `\A` and `\z`).
///
/// While this crate will handle Unicode strings (whether in the regular
/// expression or in the search text), all positions returned are **byte
/// indices**. Every byte index is guaranteed to be at a Unicode code point
/// boundary.
///
/// The lifetimes `'r` and `'t` in this crate correspond to the lifetime of a
/// compiled regular expression and text to search, respectively.
///
/// The only methods that allocate new strings are the string replacement
/// methods. All other methods (searching and splitting) return borrowed
/// pointers into the string given.
///
/// # Examples
///
/// Find the location of a US phone number:
///
/// ```rust
/// # use regex::Regex;
/// let re = match Regex::new("[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}") {
///     Ok(re) => re,
///     Err(err) => panic!("{}", err),
/// };
/// assert_eq!(re.find("phone: 111-222-3333"), Some((7, 19)));
/// ```
///
/// You can also use the `regex!` macro to compile a regular expression when
/// you compile your program:
///
/// ```rust
/// #![feature(phase)]
/// extern crate regex;
/// #[phase(plugin)] extern crate regex_macros;
///
/// fn main() {
///     let re = regex!(r"\d+");
///     assert_eq!(re.find("123 abc"), Some((0, 3)));
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Given an incorrect regular expression, `regex!` will cause the Rust
/// compiler to produce a compile time error.
/// Note that `regex!` will compile the expression to native Rust code, which
/// makes it much faster when searching text.
/// More details about the `regex!` macro can be found in the `regex` crate
/// documentation.

    ///
    /// ```rust
    /// # #![feature(phase)]
