/**
 * An REMatchEnumeration enumerates regular expression matches over a
 * given input text.  You obtain a reference to an enumeration using
 * the <code>getMatchEnumeration()</code> methods on an instance of
 * RE. 
 *
 * <P>
 *
 * REMatchEnumeration does lazy computation; that is, it will not
 * search for a match until it needs to.  If you'd rather just get all
 * the matches at once in a big array, use the
 * <code>getAllMatches()</code> methods on RE.  However, using an
 * enumeration can help speed performance when the entire text does
 * not need to be searched immediately.
 *
 * <P>
 * 
 * The enumerated type is especially useful when searching on a Reader
 * or InputStream, because the InputStream read position cannot be
 * guaranteed after calling <code>getMatch()</code> (see the
 * description of that method for an explanation of why).  Enumeration
 * also saves a lot of overhead required when calling
 * <code>getMatch()</code> multiple times.
