// This is the backtracking matching engine. It has the same exact capability
// as the full NFA simulation, except it is artificially restricted to small
// regexes on small inputs because of its memory requirements.
//
// In particular, this is a *bounded* backtracking engine. It retains worst
// case linear time by keeping track of the states that it has visited (using a
// bitmap). Namely, once a state is visited, it is never visited again. Since a
// state is keyed by `(instruction index, input index)`, we have that its time
// complexity is `O(mn)` (i.e., linear in the size of the search text).
//
// The backtracking engine can beat out the NFA simulation on small
// regexes/inputs because it doesn't have to keep track of multiple copies of
// the capture groups. In benchmarks, the backtracking engine is roughly twice
// as fast as the full NFA simulation. Note though that its performance doesn't
// scale, even if you're willing to live with the memory requirements. Namely,
// the bitset has to be zeroed on each execution, which becomes quite expensive
// on large bitsets.
