// Prog::SearchNFA, an NFA search.
// This is an actual NFA like the theorists talk about,
// not the pseudo-NFA found in backtracking regexp implementations.
//
// IMPLEMENTATION
//
// This algorithm is a variant of one that appeared in Rob Pike's sam editor,
// which is a variant of the one described in Thompson's 1968 CACM paper.
// See http://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/ for various history.  The main feature
// over the DFA implementation is that it tracks submatch boundaries.
//
// When the choice of submatch boundaries is ambiguous, this particular
// implementation makes the same choices that traditional backtracking
// implementations (in particular, Perl and PCRE) do.
// Note that unlike in Perl and PCRE, this algorithm *cannot* take exponential
// time in the length of the input.
//
// Like Thompson's original machine and like the DFA implementation, this
// implementation notices a match only once it is one byte past it.
