// The class FilteredRE2 is used as a wrapper to multiple RE2 regexps.
// It provides a prefilter mechanism that helps in cutting down the
// number of regexps that need to be actually searched.
//
// By design, it does not include a string matching engine. This is to
// allow the user of the class to use their favorite string match
// engine. The overall flow is: Add all the regexps using Add, then
// Compile the FilteredRE2. The compile returns strings that need to
// be matched. Note that all returned strings are lowercase. For
// applying regexps to a search text, the caller does the string
// matching using the strings returned. When doing the string match,
// note that the caller has to do that on lower cased version of the
// search text. Then call FirstMatch or AllMatches with a vector of
// indices of strings that were found in the text to get the actual
// regexp matches.
