// This module provides an NFA compiler using Thompson's construction
// algorithm. The compiler takes a regex-syntax::Hir as input and emits an NFA
// graph as output. The NFA graph is structured in a way that permits it to be
// executed by a virtual machine and also used to efficiently build a DFA.
//
// The compiler deals with a slightly expanded set of NFA states that notably
// includes an empty node that has exactly one epsilon transition to the next
// state. In other words, it's a "goto" instruction if one views Thompson's NFA
// as a set of bytecode instructions. These goto instructions are removed in
// a subsequent phase before returning the NFA to the caller. The purpose of
// these empty nodes is that they make the construction algorithm substantially
// simpler to implement. We remove them before returning to the caller because
// they can represent substantial overhead when traversing the NFA graph
// (either while searching using the NFA directly or while building a DFA).
//
// In the future, it would be nice to provide a Glushkov compiler as well,
// as it would work well as a bit-parallel NFA for smaller regexes. But
// the Thompson construction is one I'm more familiar with and seems more
// straight-forward to deal with when it comes to large Unicode character
// classes.
//
// Internally, the compiler uses interior mutability to improve composition
// in the face of the borrow checker. In particular, we'd really like to be
// able to write things like this:
//
//     self.c_concat(exprs.iter().map(|e| self.c(e)))
//
// Which elegantly uses iterators to build up a sequence of compiled regex
// sub-expressions and then hands it off to the concatenating compiler
// routine. Without interior mutability, the borrow checker won't let us
// borrow `self` mutably both inside and outside the closure at the same
// time.
