 * returned. There are circumstances where it might be helpful to
 * distinguish this case from other cases in which there is no match.
 *
 * Consider, for example, an application where a human is required to
 * type in data for a field with specific formatting requirements. An
 * example might be a date in the form ddmmmyy, defined by the pattern
 * "^\d?\d(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|jul|aug|sep|oct|nov|dec)\d\d$".
 * If the application sees the user’s keystrokes one by one, and can
 * check that what has been typed so far is potentially valid, it is
 * able to raise an error as soon as a mistake is made.
 *
 * GRegex supports the concept of partial matching by means of the
 * #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL flag. When this is set the return code for
 * g_regex_match() or g_regex_match_full() is, as usual, %TRUE
 * for a complete match, %FALSE otherwise. But, when these functions
 * return %FALSE, you can check if the match was partial calling
 * g_match_info_is_partial_match().
 *
 * When using partial matching you cannot use g_match_info_fetch*().
 *
 * Because of the way certain internal optimizations are implemented 
 * the partial matching algorithm cannot be used with all patterns. 
 * So repeated single characters such as "a{2,4}" and repeated single 
 * meta-sequences such as "\d+" are not permitted if the maximum number 
 * of occurrences is greater than one. Optional items such as "\d?" 
 * (where the maximum is one) are permitted. Quantifiers with any values 
 * are permitted after parentheses, so the invalid examples above can be 
 * coded thus "(a){2,4}" and "(\d)+". If #G_REGEX_MATCH_PARTIAL is set 
 * for a pattern that does not conform to the restrictions, matching 
 * functions return an error.

 *
 * Breaks the string on the pattern, and returns an array of 
 * the tokens. If the pattern contains capturing parentheses, 
 * then the text for each of the substrings will also be returned. 
 * If the pattern does not match anywhere in the string, then the 
 * whole string is returned as the first token.
 *
 * This function is equivalent to g_regex_split() but it does 
 * not require to compile the pattern with g_regex_new(), avoiding 
 * some lines of code when you need just to do a split without 
 * extracting substrings, capture counts, and so on.
 *
 * If this function is to be called on the same @pattern more than
 * once, it's more efficient to compile the pattern once with
 * g_regex_new() and then use g_regex_split().
 *
 * As a special case, the result of splitting the empty string "" 
 * is an empty vector, not a vector containing a single string. 
 * The reason for this special case is that being able to represent 
 * a empty vector is typically more useful than consistent handling 
 * of empty elements. If you do need to represent empty elements, 
 * you'll need to check for the empty string before calling this 
 * function.
 *
 * A pattern that can match empty strings splits @string into 
 * separate characters wherever it matches the empty string between 
 * characters. For example splitting "ab c" using as a separator 
 * "\s*", you will get "a", "b" and "c".

 * to the captured subexpression with the given name. '\0' refers to the 
 * complete match, but '\0' followed by a number is the octal representation 
 * of a character. To include a literal '\' in the replacement, write '\\'.
 * There are also escapes that changes the case of the following text:
