/**
* \file
* \brief C++ API: Regular Expressions
*
* The ICU API for processing regular expressions consists of two classes,
* `RegexPattern` and `RegexMatcher`.
* `RegexPattern` objects represent a pre-processed, or compiled
* regular expression. They are created from a regular expression pattern string,
* and can be used to create `RegexMatcher` objects for the pattern.
*
* Class `RegexMatcher` bundles together a regular expression
* pattern and a target string to which the search pattern will be applied.
* `RegexMatcher` includes API for doing plain find or search
* operations, for search and replace operations, and for obtaining detailed
* information about bounds of a match.
*
* Note that by constructing `RegexMatcher` objects directly from regular
* expression pattern strings application code can be simplified and the explicit
* need for `RegexPattern` objects can usually be eliminated.
