  41:  * UncheckedRE is a subclass of RE that allows programmers an easier means
  42:  * of programmatically precompiling regular expressions.  It is constructed
  43:  * and used in exactly the same manner as an instance of the RE class; the
  44:  * only difference is that its constructors do not throw REException.
  45:  * Instead, if a syntax error is encountered during construction, a
  46:  * RuntimeException will be thrown.
  47:  * <P>
  48:  * Note that this makes UncheckedRE dangerous if constructed with
  49:  * dynamic data.  Do not use UncheckedRE unless you are completely sure
  50:  * that all input being passed to it contains valid, well-formed
  51:  * regular expressions for the syntax specified.
