/***
 * A regular expression datatype.  Keeps an instance of the
 * compiled expression for speed purposes.  This compiled
 * expression is lazily evaluated (it is compiled the first
 * time it is needed).  The syntax is the dependent on which
 * regular expression type you are using.  The system property
 * "ant.regexp.regexpimpl" will be the classname of the implementation
 * that will be used.
 *
 * <pre>
 * For jdk  <= 1.3, there are two available implementations:
 *   org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.JakartaOroRegexp (the default)
 *        Based on the jakarta-oro package
 *
 *   org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.JakartaRegexpRegexp
 *        Based on the jakarta-regexp package
 *
 * For jdk >= 1.4 an additional implementation is available:
 *   org.apache.tools.ant.util.regexp.Jdk14RegexpRegexp
 *        Based on the jdk 1.4 built in regular expression package.
