Pattern

public protocol Pattern: MatchChecker,
                         RangeFinder, SubstringFinder,
                         MatchCollector, MatchIterator,
                         Fragmenter, Splitter,
                         Replacer

This framework’s main protocol, Pattern, consolidates various aspects of a matcher. The protocol adds the ability to combine, via boolean-logic operators, sub-types for building even more complex matching bahaviors.
