Note The regular expression language defined here does not attempt to provide a general solution to regular expressions over the Universal Character Set (UCS) character sequences. The language is targeted at the support of "Level 1" features as defined in the Unicode Regular Expressions Guidelines (http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr18/).
