This commit exposes two new areas of API surface:
captures_read
method which provides a way to access theoffsets of submatches while amortizing the allocation of the
space required to store those offsets. Callers should still of
course prefer to use the higher level
captures
method, but ifperformance dictates, this lower level API may be useful.
shortest_match/is_match/find/captures/captures_read that permit
controlling where the start of a search begins within a slice.
This is typically useful for controlling the match semantics of
look-around operators such as
^
and$
, and are necessary forimplementing non-overlapping iterators.
Fixes #219
