// regex_test — exercises the lib/regex fold-1 data model (the type
// model + finish()), the fold-2a compile() literal core, the
// fold-2b tranche-A/B thread machine (thread/newmatch + result_free
// + strerror; delete_thread/is_consuming_inst/add_thread/run_thread),
// the tranche-C search end-to-end matches, the tranche-D exec
// surface (test/find), and the fold-2c findall/result_freeall. Run
// with `out/bin/ww run lib/regex/regex_test.ww`.
//
// Private symbols (thread, newmatch) are reached unqualified: this
// file declares `package regex`, so the import unifies it with the
// lib sources (the decimaltest precedent,
// lib/strconv/test/decimaltest.ww).
//
// Fold 2a ports compile()'s lit/any/match arms only; exec lives in
// later folds, so the compile_* cases pin the emitted inst PROGRAM
// (shape + payloads via indexed match-extraction), not matching.
// charclass_map's fn-ptr table is deferred behind the array→slice
// element-coercion checker gap (see regex.ww), so this test does not
// exercise the POSIX-class predicate dispatch yet — it pins variant
// discrimination (including the nominally-distinct same-underlying
// inst_split/inst_jump/inst_groupstart `size` aliases and the
// inst_any/inst_skip/inst_groupend `void` aliases), payload extraction,
// the regex/capture struct shapes, and finish(). Same
// signalled-then-fail()-with-+10 pattern as the rest of the stdlib
// run-tests; the non-zero exit pinpoints the failing case.
//
// Struct literals below name the type UNQUALIFIED (`inst_charset { … }`,
// not `regex.inst_charset { … }`): the parser rejects a module-qualified
// name in struct-literal position (#29), and the imported type
// is in scope unqualified.
