     56   // IDs that are used to report matches.

     59   // any registered pattern matches a text at the beginning of the text (i.e.
     60   // whether any pattern is a prefix of the text), we could just follow
     61   // nodes in the trie according to the matching characters in the text.
     62   // E.g., if text == "foobar", we would follow the trie from the root node
     63   // to its child labeled 'f', from there to child 'o', etc. In this process we
     64   // would report all pattern IDs associated with the trie nodes as matches.

     66   // As we are not looking for all prefix matches but all substring matches,
     67   // this algorithm would need to compare text.substr(0), text.substr(1), ...
     68   // against the trie, which is in O(|text|^2).
