// Regular expression generator: generates all possible
// regular expressions within parameters (see regexp_generator.h for details).

// The regexp generator first generates a sequence of commands in a simple
// postfix language.  Each command in the language is a string,
// like "a" or "%s*" or "%s|%s".
//
// To evaluate a command, enough arguments are popped from the value stack to
// plug into the %s slots.  Then the result is pushed onto the stack.
// For example, the command sequence
//      a b %s%s c
// results in the stack
//      ab c
//
// GeneratePostfix generates all possible command sequences.
// Then RunPostfix turns each sequence into a regular expression
// and passes the regexp to HandleRegexp.
