// The PrefilterTree class is used to form an AND-OR tree of strings
// that would trigger each regexp. The 'prefilter' of each regexp is
// added tp PrefilterTree, and then PrefilterTree is used to find all
// the unique strings across the prefilters. During search, by using
// matches from a string matching engine, PrefilterTree deduces the
// set of regexps that are to be triggered. The 'string matching
// engine' itself is outside of this class, and the caller can use any
// favorite engine. PrefilterTree provides a set of strings (called
// atoms) that the user of this class should use to do the string
// matching.
