This class provides support for regular expressions matching and also
replacement. It is built on top of either the system library (if it has support
for POSIX regular expressions - which is the case of the most modern Unices) or
-uses the built in Henry Spencer's library. In the latter case you need to abide
-by the terms of its copyright:
