Class
    Foam::wordRe

Description
    A wordRe is a word, but can also have a regular expression for matching
    words.

    By default the constructors will generally preserve the argument as
    string literal and the assignment operators will use the wordRe::DETECT
    compOption to scan the string for regular expression meta characters
    and/or invalid word characters and react accordingly.

    The exceptions are when constructing/assigning from another
    Foam::wordRe (preserve the same type) or from a Foam::word (always
    literal).

Note
    If the string contents are changed - eg, by the operator+=() or by
    string::replace(), etc - it will be necessary to use compile() or
    recompile() to synchronize the regular expression.
