// FIXME: Currently, the VM simulates an NFA. It would be nice to have another
// VM that simulates a DFA.
//
// According to Russ Cox[1], a DFA performs better than an NFA, principally
// because it reuses states previously computed by the machine *and* doesn't
// keep track of capture groups. The drawback of a DFA (aside from its
// complexity) is that it can't accurately return the locations of submatches.
// The NFA *can* do that. (This is my understanding anyway.)
//
// Cox suggests that a DFA ought to be used to answer "does this match" and
// "where does it match" questions. (In the latter, the starting position of
// the match is computed by executing the regex backwards.) Cox also suggests
// that a DFA should be run when asking "where are the submatches", which can
// 1) quickly answer "no" is there's no match and 2) discover the substring
// that matches, which means running the NFA on smaller input.
//
// Currently, the NFA simulation implemented below does some dirty tricks to
// avoid tracking capture groups when they aren't needed (which only works
// for 'is_match', not 'find'). This is a half-measure, but does provide some
// perf improvement.
//
// AFAIK, the DFA/NFA approach is implemented in RE2/C++ but *not* in RE2/Go.
