Version : 0.0~git20221122.6b5c0a4-1

Description : Faster version of the Go regexp package
Fork of the upstream Go regexp package, with some code optimisations to
make it run faster.
.
All semantics are the same, and the optimised code passes all tests from
upstream.
This package is a required build-dep of Prometheus. Whilst patching
Prometheus to use the original Go standard library regexp package is
fairly trivial, the grafana/regexp package is used extensively
throughout Prometheus, and likely has performance advantages.
I will co-maintain this package as a member of the Debian Go Packaging
Team.
