/*
 * Regular Esseression Syntax
 *   A regular expression is zero or more branches, separated by '|'.
 *   ......
 *   ......
 *
 * Compiled form of a regular expression:
 *
 *   | expression                                                                      |
 *   | header  | branch                          | branch              | branch        |
 *   | nb | el | na | bl | cmd | arg | cmd | arg | na | bl | cmd | arg | na | bl | cmd |
 *
 *   nb: the number of branches
 *   el: the length of a expression including the length of nb and el
 *   na: the number of atoms
 *   bl: the length of a branch including the length of na and bl
 *   cmd: The command and repetition info encoded together. 
 *      Some commands require an argument to follow them but some other don't.
 *      It is encoded as follows:
 *
 *   Subexpressions can be nested by having the command "GROUP" 
 *   and a subexpression as its argument.
 *
 * Examples:
 *   a.c -> |1|6|5|ORD_CHAR(no bound)|a|ANY_CHAR(no bound)|ORD_CHAR(no bound)|c|
 *   ab|xy -> |2|10|4|ORD_CHAR(no bound)|a|ORD_CHAR(no bound)|b|4|ORD_CHAR(no bound)|x|ORD_CHAR(no bound)|y|
