A lazy DFA backed `Regex`.
This module provides a [`Regex`] backed by a lazy DFA. A `Regex` implements
convenience routines you might have come to expect, such as finding a match
and iterating over all non-overlapping matches. This `Regex` type is limited
in its capabilities to what a lazy DFA can provide. Therefore, APIs involving
capturing groups, for example, are not provided.
Internally, a `Regex` is composed of two DFAs. One is a "forward" DFA that
finds the end offset of a match, where as the other is a "reverse" DFA that
find the start offset of a match.
See the [parent module](crate::hybrid) for examples.

/// A regular expression that uses hybrid NFA/DFAs (also called "lazy DFAs")
/// for searching.
///
/// A regular expression is comprised of two lazy DFAs, a "forward" DFA and a
/// "reverse" DFA. The forward DFA is responsible for detecting the end of
/// a match while the reverse DFA is responsible for detecting the start
/// of a match. Thus, in order to find the bounds of any given match, a
/// forward search must first be run followed by a reverse search. A match
/// found by the forward DFA guarantees that the reverse DFA will also find
/// a match.
///
/// # Fallibility
///
/// Most of the search routines defined on this type will _panic_ when the
/// underlying search fails. This might be because the DFA gave up because it
/// saw a quit byte, whether configured explicitly or via heuristic Unicode
/// word boundary support, although neither are enabled by default. It might
/// also fail if the underlying DFA determines it isn't making effective use of
/// the cache (which also never happens by default). Or it might fail because
/// an invalid `Input` configuration is given, for example, with an unsupported
/// [`Anchored`] mode.
///
/// If you need to handle these error cases instead of allowing them to trigger
/// a panic, then the lower level [`Regex::try_search`] provides a fallible API
/// that never panics.
///
/// # Example
///
/// This example shows how to cause a search to terminate if it sees a
/// `\n` byte, and handle the error returned. This could be useful if, for
/// example, you wanted to prevent a user supplied pattern from matching
/// across a line boundary.
