/*
 * Secret Labs' Regular Expression Engine
 *
 * regular expression matching engine
 *
 * partial history:
 * 1999-10-24 fl  created (based on existing template matcher code)
 * 2000-03-06 fl  first alpha, sort of
 * 2000-06-30 fl  added fast search optimization
 * 2000-06-30 fl  added assert (lookahead) primitives, etc
 * 2000-07-02 fl  added charset optimizations, etc
 * 2000-07-03 fl  store code in pattern object, lookbehind, etc
 * 2000-07-08 fl  added regs attribute
 * 2000-07-21 fl  reset lastindex in scanner methods
 * 2000-08-01 fl  fixes for 1.6b1
 * 2000-08-03 fl  added recursion limit
 * 2000-08-07 fl  use PyOS_CheckStack() if available
 * 2000-08-08 fl  changed findall to return empty strings instead of None
 * 2000-08-27 fl  properly propagate memory errors
 * 2000-09-02 fl  return -1 instead of None for start/end/span
 * 2000-09-20 fl  added expand method
 * 2000-09-21 fl  don't use the buffer interface for unicode strings
 * 2000-10-03 fl  fixed assert_not primitive; support keyword arguments
 * 2000-10-24 fl  really fixed assert_not; reset groups in findall
 * 2000-12-21 fl  fixed memory leak in groupdict
 * 2001-01-02 fl  properly reset pointer after failed assertion in MIN_UNTIL
 * 2001-01-15 fl  avoid recursion for MIN_UNTIL; fixed uppercase literal bug
 * 2001-01-16 fl  fixed memory leak in pattern destructor
 * 2001-03-20 fl  lots of fixes for 2.1b2
 * 2001-04-15 fl  export copyright as Python attribute, not global
 * 2001-04-28 fl  added __copy__ methods (work in progress)
 * 2001-05-14 fl  fixes for 1.5.2
 * 2001-07-01 fl  added BIGCHARSET support (from Martin von Loewis)
 * 2001-10-18 fl  fixed group reset issue (from Matthew Mueller)
 * 2001-10-20 fl  added split primitive; reenable unicode for 1.6/2.0/2.1
 * 2001-10-21 fl  added sub/subn primitive
 * 2001-10-22 fl  check for literal sub/subn templates
 * 2001-10-24 fl  added finditer primitive (for 2.2 only)
 * 2001-12-07 fl  fixed memory leak in sub/subn (Guido van Rossum)
