#![allow(warnings)]
// This module defines an internal builder that encapsulates all interaction
// with meta::Regex construction, and then 4 public API builders that wrap
// around it. The docs are essentially repeated on each of the 4 public
// builders, with tweaks to the examples as needed.
//
// The reason why there are so many builders is partially because of a misstep
// in the initial API design: the builder constructor takes in the pattern
// strings instead of using the `build` method to accept the pattern strings.
// This means `new` has a different signature for each builder. It probably
// would have been nicer to to use one builder with `fn new()`, and then add
// `build(pat)` and `build_many(pats)` constructors.
//
// The other reason is because I think the `bytes` module should probably
// have its own builder type. That way, it is completely isolated from the
// top-level API.
//
// If I could do it again, I'd probably have a `regex::Builder` and a
// `regex::bytes::Builder`. Each would have `build` and `build_set` (or
// `build_many`) methods for constructing a single pattern `Regex` and a
// multi-pattern `RegexSet`, respectively.

/// match `💩` once, where as it will match 4 times when Unicode mode
/// is disabled. (Since the UTF-8 encoding of `💩` is 4 bytes long.)
/// * Case insensitive matching uses Unicode simple case folding rules.
/// * Unicode character classes like `\p{Letter}` and `\p{Greek}` are
/// available.
/// * Perl character classes are Unicode aware. That is, `\w`, `\s` and
/// `\d`.
/// * The word boundary assertions, `\b` and `\B`, use the Unicode
/// definition of a word character.
///
/// Note that if Unicode mode is disabled, then the regex will fail to
/// compile if it could match invalid UTF-8. For example, when Unicode
/// mode is disabled, then since `.` matches any byte (except for
/// `\n`), then it can match invalid UTF-8 and thus building a regex
/// from it will fail. Another example is `\w` and `\W`. Since `\w` can
/// only match ASCII bytes when Unicode mode is disabled, it's allowed.
/// But `\W` can match more than ASCII bytes, including invalid UTF-8,
/// and so it is not allowed. This restriction can be lifted only by
/// using a [`bytes::Regex`](crate::bytes::Regex).
///
/// For more details on the Unicode support in this crate, see the
/// [Unicode section](crate#unicode) in this crate's top-level

/// * The word boundary assertions, `\b` and `\B`, use the Unicode
/// definition of a word character.

/// Note that if Unicode mode is disabled, then the regex will fail to
/// compile if it could match invalid UTF-8. For example, when Unicode
