=head1 NAME

PAST::Compiler-Regex - Compiler for PAST::Regex nodes

=head1 DESCRIPTION

PAST::Compiler-Regex implements the transformations to convert 
PAST::Regex nodes into POST.  It's still a part of PAST::Compiler;
we've separated out the regex-specific transformations here for
better code management and debugging.

=item !cursorop(ops, func, retelems, arg :slurpy)

Helper function to push POST nodes onto C<ops> that perform C<func>
on the regex's current cursor.  By default this ends up being a method
call on the cursor, but some values of C<func> can result in inlined
code to perform the equivalent operation without using the method call.

The C<retelems> argument is the number of elements in C<arg> that
represent return values from the function; any remaining elements in arg
are passed to the function as input arguments.
