/// The nesting limit controls how deep the abstract syntax tree is allowed

/// groups), then an error is returned by the parser.
///
/// The purpose of this limit is to act as a heuristic to prevent stack
/// overflow for consumers that do structural induction on an `Ast` using
/// explicit recursion. While this crate never does this (instead using
/// constant stack space and moving the call stack to the heap), other
/// crates may.
///
/// This limit is not checked until the entire Ast is parsed. Therefore,
/// if callers want to put a limit on the amount of heap space used, then
/// they should impose a limit on the length, in bytes, of the concrete
/// pattern string. In particular, this is viable since this parser
/// implementation will limit itself to heap space proportional to the
/// length of the pattern string.
///
/// Note that a nest limit of `0` will return a nest limit error for most
/// patterns but not all. For example, a nest limit of `0` permits `a` but
/// not `ab`, since `ab` requires a concatenation, which results in a nest
/// depth of `1`. In general, a nest limit is not something that manifests
/// in an obvious way in the concrete syntax, therefore, it should not be

/// shows octal syntax.
///
/// While supporting octal syntax isn't in and of itself a problem, it does
/// make good error messages harder. That is, in PCRE based regex engines,
/// syntax like `\0` invokes a backreference, which is explicitly
/// unsupported in Rust's regex engine. However, many users expect it to
/// be supported. Therefore, when octal support is disabled, the error
/// message will explicitly mention that backreferences aren't supported.
