Andrew Gallant d9ca529356 libripgrep: initial commit introducing libripgrep
libripgrep is not any one library, but rather, a collection of libraries
that roughly separate the following key distinct phases in a grep
implementation:

  1. Pattern matching (e.g., by a regex engine).
  2. Searching a file using a pattern matcher.
  3. Printing results.

Ultimately, both (1) and (3) are defined by de-coupled interfaces, of
which there may be multiple implementations. Namely, (1) is satisfied by
the `Matcher` trait in the `grep-matcher` crate and (3) is satisfied by
the `Sink` trait in the `grep2` crate. The searcher (2) ties everything
together and finds results using a matcher and reports those results
using a `Sink` implementation.

Closes #162

grep-regex
----------
The `grep-regex` crate provides an implementation of the `Matcher` trait from
the `grep-matcher` crate. This implementation permits Rust's regex engine to
be used in the `grep` crate for fast line oriented searching.

### Documentation
[https://docs.rs/grep-regex](https://docs.rs/grep-regex)
**NOTE:** You probably don't want to use this crate directly. Instead, you
should prefer the facade defined in the
[`grep`](https://docs.rs/grep)
crate.
### Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
grep-regex = "0.1"
```
and this to your crate root:
```rust
extern crate grep_regex;
```
