Destructor

compile void compile(cstring pattern, bool case_sens): Compiles the specified regex for use in the match() method. Cleans up a previously compiled regex, if this instance has been used before.
findAll cstring[] findAll(cstring subject, cstring[] matches_buffer): Performs a regular expression match and returns an array of slices of all matches
findFirst cstring findFirst(cstring subject): Performs a regular expression match and return the first found match
match bool match(cstring subject): Perform a regular expression match.
study void study(): Study a compiled regex in order to increase processing efficiency when calling match(). This is usually only worth doing for a regex which will be used many times, and does not always yield an improvement in efficiency.
