/// A contiguous NFA implementation of Aho-Corasick.
///
/// When possible, prefer using [`AhoCorasick`](crate::AhoCorasick) instead of
/// this type directly. Using an `NFA` directly is typically only necessary
/// when one needs access to the [`Automaton`] trait implementation.
///
/// This NFA can only be built by first constructing a [`noncontiguous::NFA`].
/// Both [`NFA::new`] and [`Builder::build`] do this for you automatically, but
/// [`Builder::build_from_noncontiguous`] permits doing it explicitly.
///
/// The main difference between a noncontiguous NFA and a contiguous NFA is
/// that the latter represents all of its states and transitions in a single
/// allocation, where as the former uses a separate allocation for each state.
/// Doing this at construction time while keeping a low memory footprint isn't
/// feasible, which is primarily why there are two different NFA types: one
/// that does the least amount of work possible to build itself, and another
/// that does a little extra work to compact itself and make state transitions
/// faster by making some states use a dense representation.
///
/// Because a contiguous NFA uses a single allocation, there is a lot more
/// opportunity for compression tricks to reduce the heap memory used. Indeed,
/// it is not uncommon for a contiguous NFA to use an order of magnitude less
/// heap memory than a noncontiguous NFA. Since building a contiguous NFA
/// usually only takes a fraction of the time it takes to build a noncontiguous
/// NFA, the overall build time is not much slower. Thus, in most cases, a
/// contiguous NFA is the best choice.
///
/// Since a contiguous NFA uses various tricks for compression and to achieve
/// faster state transitions, currently, its limit on the number of states
/// is somewhat smaller than what a noncontiguous NFA can achieve. Generally
/// speaking, you shouldn't expect to run into this limit if the number of
/// patterns is under 1 million. It is plausible that this limit will be
/// increased in the future. If the limit is reached, building a contiguous NFA
/// will return an error. Often, since building a contiguous NFA is relatively
/// cheap, it can make sense to always try it even if you aren't sure if it
/// will fail or not. If it does, you can always fall back to a noncontiguous
/// NFA. (Indeed, the main [`AhoCorasick`](crate::AhoCorasick) type employs a
/// strategy similar to this at construction time.)
///
/// # Example
///
/// This example shows how to build an `NFA` directly and use it to execute
/// [`Automaton::try_find`]:
///
/// ```
/// use aho_corasick::{
/// automaton::Automaton,
/// nfa::contiguous::NFA,
/// Input, Match,
/// };
///
/// let patterns = &["b", "abc", "abcd"];
/// let haystack = "abcd";
///
/// let nfa = NFA::new(patterns).unwrap();
/// assert_eq!(
/// Some(Match::must(0, 1..2)),
/// nfa.try_find(&Input::new(haystack))?,
/// );
/// # Ok::<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>>(())
/// ```
///
/// It is also possible to implement your own version of `try_find`. See the
/// [`Automaton`] documentation for an example.

// Loop unrolling doesn't really help us because the vast majority of
// states have very few transitions.
