  :long "<p>This library is modeled after the regular expression parsing
         functionality of GNU grep.  While the code is mostly considered to be
         complete enough for now, we invite those who wish to improve the
         documentation to go ahead and do so.  As of March 2013, this library
         is compliant with 579 of the 646 GNU grep regression suite tests (see
         book regex/regex-tests for those tests).</p>

         <p>To start using the regex library, include book
         <tt>regex/regex-ui</tt>.</p>

         <p>This library supports \"Basic\", \"Extended\", and \"Fixed\"
         regular expressions (see @(see parse-options)).  Although some
         implementations of GNU Grep support \"Perl\" regular expressions, we
         do not yet implement them.  If a user is motivated to provide such an
         extension, they should feel free to do so.</p>

         <p>This library does not currently support features like [[:digit:]] and
         [[:alpha:]].  A workaround for this is specifying the expansion of
         these named classes, respectively, as in [0-9] and [a-zA-Z].</p>

         <p>See <a
         href=\"http://www.gnu.org/software/grep/manual/grep.html#Regular-Expressions\">
         GNU Grep Regular Expressions</a> for more information on these regular
         expressions.</p>")

; Future implementor's note: An appropriate place to add named classes
; (:digit:, :alpha:, etc.) might be in regex-parse-bracket.lisp.

         this performance is unacceptable.  If you're looking for a place to
         suspect of bad performance, this could be a good place to start.</p>

         <p>It is likely that the user will want to use <tt>regex-get</tt> to
         implement a function that returns a value of a specific type.  Here,
         we show a couple events that we needed to provide to prove that our
         wrapper for <tt>regex-get</tt> returns an <tt>acl2-number-listp</tt>.
         We expect that users in similar situations will need comparable
         lemmas.

         Such composability is similar to the approach available and documented
         in the book <tt>defexec/other-apps/records/records</tt>.</p>

         <p>We now begin our approach.  First we setup an alist to serve as our
         regex dictionary:</p>

@({
 (include-book \"std/util/defalist\" :dir :system)

 (std::defalist dictionary-p (x)
   :key (stringp x)
   :val (acl2-number-listp x)
   :true-listp t)
})

        <p>Next we establish two lemmas that help us specify the return type
        for what will be our use of regex-get:</p>

@({
 (include-book \"regex/regex-ui\" :dir :system)

 (defthm dictionary-p-is-string-keyed-alist-p
   (implies (dictionary-p x)
            (string-keyed-alist-p x))
   :hints ((\"Goal\" :in-theory (enable string-keyed-alist-p))))

 (defthm regex-get-of-dictionary-p-returns-terminal-list-p
   (implies (and (stringp x)
                 (dictionary-p dict))
            (acl2-number-listp (cdr (regex-get x dict))))
   :hints ((\"Goal\" :in-theory (enable regex-get))))
})

        <p>Which enables ACL2 to admit our lookup function:</p>

@({
 (include-book \"std/util/define\" :dir :system)

 (define dictionary-lookup ((key stringp)
                            (dictionary dictionary-p))
