/*
  This matcher is for regexps that use back referencing.  Regexp matching
  with back referencing is an NP-complete problem on the number of back
  references.  The easiest way to match them is to use a backtracking
  routine which basically goes through all possible paths in the TNFA
  and chooses the one which results in the best (leftmost and longest)
  match.  This can be spectacularly expensive and may run out of stack
  space, but there really is no better known generic algorithm.	 Quoting
  Henry Spencer from comp.compilers:
  <URL: http://compilers.iecc.com/comparch/article/93-03-102>

    POSIX.2 REs require longest match, which is really exciting to
    implement since the obsolete ("basic") variant also includes
    \<digit>.  I haven't found a better way of tackling this than doing
    a preliminary match using a DFA (or simulation) on a modified RE
    that just replicates subREs for \<digit>, and then doing a
    backtracking match to determine whether the subRE matches were
    right.  This can be rather slow, but I console myself with the
    thought that people who use \<digit> deserve very slow execution.
    (Pun unintentional but very appropriate.)
