<p>That is, if a replacement string contains references like <code>$foo</code> or <code>${foo1}</code>,
then they are replaced with the corresponding capture values for the groups
named <code>foo</code> and <code>foo1</code>, respectively. Similarly, syntax like <code>$1</code> and <code>${1}</code>
is supported as well, with <code>1</code> corresponding to a capture group index and not
a name.</p>
<p>This module provides the free functions <a href="fn.string.html" title="fn regex_automata::util::interpolate::string"><code>string</code></a> and <a href="fn.bytes.html" title="fn regex_automata::util::interpolate::bytes"><code>bytes</code></a>, which
interpolate Rust Unicode strings and byte strings, respectively.</p>
<h2 id="format"><a class="doc-anchor" href="#format">§</a>Format</h2>
<p>These routines support two different kinds of capture references: unbraced and
braced.</p>
<p>For the unbraced format, the format supported is <code>$ref</code> where <code>name</code> can be
any character in the class <code>[0-9A-Za-z_]</code>. <code>ref</code> is always the longest
possible parse. So for example, <code>$1a</code> corresponds to the capture group named
<code>1a</code> and not the capture group at index <code>1</code>. If <code>ref</code> matches <code>^[0-9]+$</code>, then
it is treated as a capture group index itself and not a name.</p>
<p>For the braced format, the format supported is <code>${ref}</code> where <code>ref</code> can be any
sequence of bytes except for <code>}</code>. If no closing brace occurs, then it is not
considered a capture reference. As with the unbraced format, if <code>ref</code> matches
<code>^[0-9]+$</code>, then it is treated as a capture group index and not a name.</p>
<p>The braced format is useful for exerting precise control over the name of the
capture reference. For example, <code>${1}a</code> corresponds to the capture group
reference <code>1</code> followed by the letter <code>a</code>, where as <code>$1a</code> (as mentioned above)
corresponds to the capture group reference <code>1a</code>. The braced format is also
useful for expressing capture group names that use characters not supported by
the unbraced format. For example, <code>${foo[bar].baz}</code> refers to the capture group
named <code>foo[bar].baz</code>.</p>
<p>If a capture group reference is found and it does not refer to a valid capture
group, then it will be replaced with the empty string.</p>
<p>To write a literal <code>$</code>, use <code>$$</code>.</p>
<p>To be clear, and as exhibited via the type signatures in the routines in this
module, it is impossible for a replacement string to be invalid. A replacement
string may not have the intended semantics, but the interpolation procedure
itself can never fail.</p>
