The author can be contacted at john - at - johnmaddock.co.uk; the home page
for this library is at <a href="http://www.boost.org" target="_top">www.boost.org</a>.

<p>
I am indebted to <a href="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rs/" target="_top">Robert Sedgewick's
"Algorithms in C++"</a> for forcing me to think about algorithms
and their performance, and to the folks at boost for forcing me to think,
period.

<p>
<a href="http://www.boost-consulting.com/" target="_top">Eric Niebler</a>, author
of Boost.Expressive and the <a href="http://research.microsoft.com/projects/greta" target="_top">GRETA
regular expression component</a>, has shared several important ideas,
in a series of long discussions.
</p>
<p>
Pete Becker, of <a href="http://www.versatilecoding.com" target="_top">Roundhouse Consulting,
Ltd.</a>, has helped enormously with the standardisation proposal language.

If I've missed your name off (I'm sure there are a few, just not who they
are...) then please do get in touch.
</p>
<p>
I am also grateful to the manuals supplied with the Henry Spencer, PCRE,
Perl and GNU regular expression libraries - wherever possible I have tried
to maintain compatibility with these libraries and with the POSIX standard
- the code however is entirely my own, including any bugs! I can absolutely
guarantee that I will not fix any bugs I don't know about, so if you have
any comments or spot any bugs, please get in touch.
