    are accessible as usual via [substrings].  You will have to consider
    [capture_top] and [capture_last] to know about the current state of
    valid substrings.

    By raising exception [Backtrack] within a callout function, the user
    can force the pattern matching engine to backtrack to other possible
    solutions.  Other exceptions will terminate matching immediately
    and return control to OCaml.

(** [pcre_dfa_exec ?iflags ?flags ?rex ?pat ?pos ?callout ?workspace subj]
    invokes the "alternative" DFA matching function.

    @return an array of offsets that describe the position of matched
    subpatterns in the string [subj] starting at position [pos] with pattern
    [pat] when given, regular expression [rex] otherwise. The array also
    contains additional workspace needed by the match engine. Uses [flags]
    when given, the precompiled [iflags] otherwise. Requires a
    sufficiently-large [workspace] array. Callouts are handled by [callout].

    Note that the returned array of offsets are quite different from those
    returned by {!pcre_exec} et al.  The motivating use case for the DFA
    match function is to be able to restart a partial match with N additional
    input segments.  Because the match function/workspace does not store
    segments seen previously, the offsets returned when a match completes will
    refer only to the matching portion of the last subject string provided.
    Thus, returned offsets from this function should not be used to support
    extracting captured submatches.  If you need to capture submatches
    from a series of inputs incrementally matched with this function, you'll
    need to concatenate those inputs that yield a successful match here and
    re-run the same pattern against that single subject string.

    Aside from an absolute minimum of [20], PCRE does not provide any
    guidance regarding the size of workspace array needed by any given
    pattern.  Therefore, it is wise to appropriately handle the possible
    [WorkspaceSize] error.  If raised, you can allocate a new, larger
    workspace array and begin the DFA matching process again.

                         further advance or complete the partial match.
    @raise Error WorkspaceSize if the workspace array is too small to
                               accommodate the DFA state required by the

val subst : string -> substitution
(** [subst str] converts the string [str] representing a
    substitution pattern to the internal representation

    The contents of the substitution string [str] can be normal text
    mixed with any of the following (mostly as in PERL):

    - {e $\[0-9\]+}  - a "$" immediately followed by an arbitrary number.
                       "$0" stands for the name of the executable,
                       any other number for the n-th backreference.
    - {e $&}         - the whole matched pattern
    - {e $`}         - the text before the match
    - {e $'}         - the text after the match
    - {e $+}         - the last group that matched
    - {e $$}         - a single "$"
    - {e $!}         - delimiter which does not appear in the substitution.
                       Can be used to part "$[0-9]+" from an immediately
                       following other number. *)
