/// when not configured explicitly, it defaults to a reasonable limit.
///
/// If you're getting this error, it occurred because your regex has been
/// compiled to an intermediate state that is too big. It is important to
/// note that exceeding this limit does _not_ mean the regex is too big to
/// _work_, but rather, the regex is big enough that it may wind up being
/// surprisingly slow when used in a search. In other words, this error is
/// meant to be a practical heuristic for avoiding a performance footgun,
/// and especially so for the case where the regex pattern is coming from
/// an untrusted source.
///
/// There are generally two ways to move forward if you hit this error.
/// The first is to find some way to use a smaller regex. The second is to
/// increase the size limit via `RegexBuilder::size_limit`. However, if
/// your regex pattern is not from a trusted source, then neither of these
/// approaches may be appropriate. Instead, you'll have to determine just
/// how big of a regex you want to allow.
