/*
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.
