| I am indebted to [@http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~rs/ |
| Robert Sedgewick's "Algorithms in C++"] for forcing me to think |
| about algorithms and their performance, and to the folks at boost for forcing me |
| to think, period. |
| |
| [@http://www.boost-consulting.com/ Eric Niebler], author of Boost.Expressive and |
| the [@http://research.microsoft.com/projects/greta GRETA regular expression component], |
| has shared several important ideas, in a series of long discussions. |
| |
| Pete Becker, of [@http://www.versatilecoding.com Roundhouse Consulting, Ltd.], |
| has helped enormously with the standardisation |
| proposal language. |

| If I've missed your name off (I'm sure there are a few, just not who they are...) then |
| please do get in touch. |
| |
| I am also grateful to the manuals supplied with the Henry Spencer, PCRE, Perl |
| and GNU regular expression libraries - wherever possible I have tried to |
| maintain compatibility with these libraries and with the POSIX standard - |
| the code however is entirely my own, including any bugs! I can absolutely guarantee |
| that I will not fix any bugs I don't know about, so if you have any comments or |
| spot any bugs, please get in touch. |
