+/**
+ * \file
+ * \brief C++ API: Regular Expressions
+ *
+ * The ICU API for processing regular expressions consists of two classes,
+ * `RegexPattern` and `RegexMatcher`.
+ * `RegexPattern` objects represent a pre-processed, or compiled
+ * regular expression. They are created from a regular expression pattern string,
+ * and can be used to create `RegexMatcher` objects for the pattern.
+ *
+ * Class `RegexMatcher` bundles together a regular expression
+ * pattern and a target string to which the search pattern will be applied.
+ * `RegexMatcher` includes API for doing plain find or search
+ * operations, for search and replace operations, and for obtaining detailed
+ * information about bounds of a match.
+ *
+ * Note that by constructing `RegexMatcher` objects directly from regular
+ * expression pattern strings application code can be simplified and the explicit
+ * need for `RegexPattern` objects can usually be eliminated.
