+
+<p>It is represented as either a sequence of bytecode instructions (dynamic)
+or as a specialized Rust function (native). It can be used to search, split
+or replace text. All searching is done with an implicit <code>.*?</code> at the
+beginning and end of an expression. To force an expression to match the
+whole string (or a prefix or a suffix), you must use an anchor like <code>^</code> or
+<code>$</code> (or <code>\A</code> and <code>\z</code>).</p>
+
+<p>While this crate will handle Unicode strings (whether in the regular
+expression or in the search text), all positions returned are <strong>byte
+indices</strong>. Every byte index is guaranteed to be at a Unicode code point
+boundary.</p>
+
+<p>The lifetimes <code>&#39;r</code> and <code>&#39;t</code> in this crate correspond to the lifetime of a
+compiled regular expression and text to search, respectively.</p>
+
+<p>The only methods that allocate new strings are the string replacement
+methods. All other methods (searching and splitting) return borrowed
+pointers into the string given.</p>

+<code>StrExt::match_indices</code> and <code>StrExt::split</code>.</p>
