+
+The test data has been edited to reflect RE2/Go differences:
+ * In a star of a possibly empty match like (a*)* matching x,
+ the no match case runs the starred subexpression zero times,
+ not once. This is consistent with (a*)* matching a, which
+ runs the starred subexpression one time, not twice.
+ * The submatch choice is first match, not the POSIX rule.
+
+Such changes are marked with 'RE2/Go'.

+RE2 Test Files
+
+re2-exhaustive.txt.bz2 and re2-search.txt are built by running
+'make log' in the RE2 distribution. http://code.google.com/p/re2/.
+The exhaustive file is compressed because it is huge.
