/*!
Utilities for dealing with the syntax of a regular expression.
This module currently only exposes a [`Config`] type that
itself represents a wrapper around the configuration for a
[`regex-syntax::ParserBuilder`](regex_syntax::ParserBuilder). The purpose of
this wrapper is to make configuring syntax options very similar to how other
configuration is done throughout this crate. Namely, instead of duplicating
syntax options across every builder (of which there are many), we instead
create small config objects like this one that can be passed around and
composed.

/// groups), then an error is returned by the parser.
///
/// The purpose of this limit is to act as a heuristic to prevent stack
/// overflow when building a finite automaton from a regular expression's
/// abstract syntax tree. In particular, construction currently uses
/// recursion. In the future, the implementation may stop using recursion
/// and this option will no longer be necessary.

/// if callers want to put a limit on the amount of heap space used, then
/// they should impose a limit on the length, in bytes, of the concrete
/// pattern string. In particular, this is viable since the parser will
/// limit itself to heap space proportional to the length of the pattern
/// string.
///
/// Note that a nest limit of `0` will return a nest limit error for most
/// patterns but not all. For example, a nest limit of `0` permits `a` but
/// not `ab`, since `ab` requires a concatenation AST item, which results
/// in a nest depth of `1`. In general, a nest limit is not something that

/// shows octal syntax.
///
/// While supporting octal syntax isn't in and of itself a problem, it does
/// make good error messages harder. That is, in PCRE based regex engines,
/// syntax like `\1` invokes a backreference, which is explicitly
/// unsupported in Rust's regex engine. However, many users expect it to
/// be supported. Therefore, when octal support is disabled, the error
