;;; Commentary:

;; This is another implementation of sexp-form regular expressions.
;; It was unfortunately written without being aware of the Sregex
;; package coming with Emacs, but as things stand, Rx completely
;; covers all regexp features, which Sregex doesn't, doesn't suffer
;; from the bugs mentioned in the commentary section of Sregex, and
;; uses a nicer syntax (IMHO, of course :-).

;; Rx translates a sexp notation for regular expressions into the
;; usual string notation.  The translation can be done at compile-time
;; by using the `rx' macro.  It can be done at run-time by calling
;; function `rx-to-string'.  See the documentation of `rx' for a
;; complete description of the sexp notation.
;;
;; Some examples of string regexps and their sexp counterparts:
;;
;; "^[a-z]*"
;; (rx (and line-start (0+ (in "a-z"))))
;;
;; "\n[^ \t]"
;; (rx (and "\n" (not blank))), or
;; (rx (and "\n" (not (any " \t"))))
;;
;; "\\*\\*\\* EOOH \\*\\*\\*\n"
;; (rx "*** EOOH ***\n")
;;
;; "\\<\\(catch\\|finally\\)\\>[^_]"
;; (rx (and word-start (submatch (or "catch" "finally")) word-end
;;          (not (any ?_))))
;;
;; "[ \t\n]*:\\([^:]+\\|$\\)"
;; (rx (and (zero-or-more (in " \t\n")) ":"
;;          (submatch (or line-end (one-or-more (not (any ?:)))))))
;;
;; "^content-transfer-encoding:\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*quoted-printable\\(\n?[\t ]\\)*"
;; (rx (and line-start
;;          "content-transfer-encoding:"
;;          (+ (? ?\n) blank)
;;	    "quoted-printable"
;;	    (+ (? ?\n) blank))
;;
;; (concat "^\\(?:" something-else "\\)")
;; (rx (and line-start (eval something-else))), statically or
;; (rx-to-string '(and line-start ,something-else)), dynamically.
;;
;; (regexp-opt '(STRING1 STRING2 ...))
;; (rx (or STRING1 STRING2 ...)), or in other words, `or' automatically
;; calls `regexp-opt' as needed.
;;
;; "^;;\\s-*\n\\|^\n"
;; (rx (or (and line-start ";;" (0+ space) ?\n)
;;         (and line-start ?\n)))
;;
;; "\\$[I]d: [^ ]+ \\([^ ]+\\) "
;; (rx (and "$Id": "
;;          (1+ (not (in " ")))
;;          " "
;;          (submatch (1+ (not (in " "))))
;;          " ")))

  "Translate a regular expression REGEXP in sexp form to a regexp string.
See also `rx-to-string' for how to do such a translation at run-time.

The following are valid subforms of regular expressions in sexp
notation.

STRING
     matches string STRING literally.

CHAR
     matches character CHAR literally.

`not-newline'
     matches any character except a newline.
			.
`anything'
     matches any character

`(any SET)'
     matches any character in SET.  SET may be a character or string.
     Ranges of characters can be specified as `A-Z' in strings.

'(in SET)'
     like `any'.

`(not (any SET))'
     matches any character not in SET

`line-start'
     matches the empty string, but only at the beginning of a line
     in the text being matched

`line-end'
     is similar to `line-start' but matches only at the end of a line

`string-start'
     matches the empty string, but only at the beginning of the
     string being matched against.

`string-end'
     matches the empty string, but only at the end of the
     string being matched against.

`buffer-start'
     matches the empty string, but only at the beginning of the
     buffer being matched against.

`buffer-end'
     matches the empty string, but only at the end of the
     buffer being matched against.

`point'
     matches the empty string, but only at point.

`word-start'
     matches the empty string, but only at the beginning or end of a
     word.

`word-end'
     matches the empty string, but only at the end of a word.

`word-boundary'
     matches the empty string, but only at the beginning or end of a
     word.

`(not word-boundary)'
     matches the empty string, but not at the beginning or end of a
     word.

`digit'
     matches 0 through 9.

`control'
     matches ASCII control characters.

`hex-digit'
     matches 0 through 9, a through f and A through F.

`blank'
     matches space and tab only.

`graphic'
     matches graphic characters--everything except ASCII control chars,
     space, and DEL.

`printing'
     matches printing characters--everything except ASCII control chars
     and DEL.

`alphanumeric'
     matches letters and digits.  (But at present, for multibyte characters,
     it matches anything that has word syntax.)

`letter'
     matches letters.  (But at present, for multibyte characters,
     it matches anything that has word syntax.)

`ascii'
     matches ASCII (unibyte) characters.

`nonascii'
     matches non-ASCII (multibyte) characters.

`lower'
     matches anything lower-case.

`upper'
     matches anything upper-case.

`punctuation'
     matches punctuation.  (But at present, for multibyte characters,
     it matches anything that has non-word syntax.)

`space'
     matches anything that has whitespace syntax.

`word'
     matches anything that has word syntax.

`(syntax SYNTAX)'
     matches a character with syntax SYNTAX.  SYNTAX must be one
     of the following symbols.

     `whitespace'		(\\s- in string notation)
     `punctuation'		(\\s.)
     `word'			(\\sw)
     `symbol'			(\\s_)
     `open-parenthesis'		(\\s()

     `comment-start'		(\\s<)
     `comment-end'		(\\s>)

`(not (syntax SYNTAX))'
     matches a character that has not syntax SYNTAX.

`(category CATEGORY)'
     matches a character with category CATEGORY.  CATEGORY must be
     either a character to use for C, or one of the following symbols.

     `consonant'			(\\c0 in string notation)
     `base-vowel'			(\\c1)

`(not (category CATEGORY))'
     matches a character that has not category CATEGORY.

`(and SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
     matches what SEXP1 matches, followed by what SEXP2 matches, etc.

`(submatch SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
     like `and', but makes the match accessible with `match-end',
     `match-beginning', and `match-string'.

`(group SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
     another name for `submatch'.

`(or SEXP1 SEXP2 ...)'
     matches anything that matches SEXP1 or SEXP2, etc.  If all
     args are strings, use `regexp-opt' to optimize the resulting
     regular expression.

`(minimal-match SEXP)'
     produce a non-greedy regexp for SEXP.  Normally, regexps matching
     zero or more occurrances of something are \"greedy\" in that they
     match as much as they can, as long as the overall regexp can
     still match.  A non-greedy regexp matches as little as possible.

`(maximal-match SEXP)'
     produce a greedy regexp for SEXP.  This is the default.

`(zero-or-more SEXP)'
     matches zero or more occurrences of what SEXP matches.

`(0+ SEXP)'
     like `zero-or-more'.

`(* SEXP)'
     like `zero-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.

`(*? SEXP)'
     like `zero-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.

`(one-or-more SEXP)'
     matches one or more occurrences of A.

`(1+ SEXP)'
     like `one-or-more'.

`(+ SEXP)'
     like `one-or-more', but always produces a greedy regexp.

`(+? SEXP)'
     like `one-or-more', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.

`(zero-or-one SEXP)'
     matches zero or one occurrences of A.

`(optional SEXP)'
     like `zero-or-one'.

`(? SEXP)'
     like `zero-or-one', but always produces a greedy regexp.

`(?? SEXP)'
     like `zero-or-one', but always produces a non-greedy regexp.

`(repeat N SEXP)'
     matches N occurrences of what SEXP matches.

`(repeat N M SEXP)'
     matches N to M occurrences of what SEXP matches.

`(eval FORM)'
      evaluate FORM and insert result.  If result is a string,
      `regexp-quote' it.

`(regexp REGEXP)'
      include REGEXP in string notation in the result."
