 * Support for quoted chars in regex. Escapes in brackets.
 * Support for ^, $ assertions in regex.
 * Support for repetition operator {n} and {n,m} and {n,}.
-- Note: cases with 0 are not handled, avoid them, they can easily be replaced.
 * Support for Unicode (UTF-8).
 * Unlike other engines, the output is byte level offset. (Which is more useful)
 * Support for non capture group ?:
