-- $tutorial

-- We have a regex tutorial at <http://tutorial.regex.uk>.

-- $use
--
-- This module just provides an overview of the key type on which
-- the regex package is built. You will need to import one of the API
-- modules of which there is a choice which will depend upon two factors:
--
-- * Which flavour of regular expression do you want to use? If you want
--   Posix flavour REs then you want the TDFA modules, otherwise its
--   PCRE for Perl-style REs.
--
-- * What type of text do you want to match: (slow) @String@s, @ByteString@,
--   @ByteString.Lazy@, @Text@, @Text.Lazy@ or the anachronistic @Seq Char@
--   or indeed a good old-fashioned polymorphic operators?
--
-- While we aim to provide all combinations of these choices, some of them
-- are currently not available.  In the regex package we have:
--
-- * "Text.RE.TDFA"
-- * "Text.RE.TDFA.ByteString"
-- * "Text.RE.TDFA.ByteString.Lazy"
-- * "Text.RE.TDFA.RE"
-- * "Text.RE.TDFA.Sequence"
-- * "Text.RE.TDFA.String"
-- * "Text.RE.TDFA.Text"
-- * "Text.RE.TDFA.Text.Lazy"
--
-- The PCRE modules are contained in the separate @regex-with-pcre@
-- package:
--
-- * "Text.RE.PCRE"
-- * "Text.RE.PCRE.ByteString"
-- * "Text.RE.PCRE.ByteString.Lazy"
-- * "Text.RE.PCRE.RE"
-- * "Text.RE.PCRE.Sequence"
-- * "Text.RE.PCRE.String"
