* The callback will usually be called after each attempt at a match, but this is not a
* guarantee that the callback will be invoked at each character. For finds where the
* match engine is invoked at each character, this may be close to true, but less likely
* for more optimized loops where the pattern is known to only start, and the match
* engine invoked, at certain characters.
* When invoked, this callback will specify the index at which a match operation is about
* to be attempted, giving the application the opportunity to terminate a long-running
* find operation.
*
* If the call back function returns FALSE, the find operation will be terminated early.
*
* Note: the callback function must not call other functions on this
* URegularExpression
*
* @param context context pointer. The callback function will be invoked
* with the context specified at the time that
* uregex_setFindProgressCallback() is called.
* @param matchIndex the next index at which a match attempt will be attempted for this
* find operation. If this callback interrupts the search, this is the
* index at which a find/findNext operation may be re-initiated.
* @return TRUE to continue the matching operation.
* FALSE to terminate the matching operation.
