<p>This module currently only exposes a <ahref="struct.Config.html"title="struct regex_automata::util::syntax::Config"><code>Config</code></a> type that
itself represents a wrapper around the configuration for a
<ahref="../../../regex_syntax/parser/struct.ParserBuilder.html"title="struct regex_syntax::parser::ParserBuilder"><code>regex-syntax::ParserBuilder</code></a>. The purpose of
this wrapper is to make configuring syntax options very similar to how other
configuration is done throughout this crate. Namely, instead of duplicating
syntax options across every builder (of which there are many), we instead
create small config objects like this one that can be passed around and
composed.</p>
