/*
 * This class (hopefully) makes it easy to use regular-expression pattern
 * matching. As an example, you can do the following:
 *
 *    LPREGEXP pExpr = new REGEXP (TEXT("sl[ia]p-h.ppy$"));
 *    if (pExpr->Matches (TEXT("slap-happy")))
 *       ...
 *    else if (pExpr->Matches (TEXT("slip-hoppy")))
 *       ...
 *    else if (!pExpr->Matches (TEXT("slug-hoppy")))
 *       ...
 *    delete pExpr;
 *
 * As a convenience, you can also use a simpler, more limited interface...
 *
 *    if (REGEXP::Matches (TEXT("sl[ia]p-h.ppy$"), TEXT("slug-hoppy")))
 *       ...
 *
 * You can also test a string to see if it looks like a regular expression:
 *
 *    LPREGEXP pExpr = new REGEXP (TEXT("ab[cC]d"));
 *    if (pExpr->fIsRegExp())
 *       ...
 *    if (!REGEXP::fIsRegExp (TEXT("testing")))
 *       ...
 *
