/**
 * The {@link StringMatcher} is used to check whether a string does (not) comply with certain rules, which are defined
 * by regular expressions. The string is checked whether it:
 * 
 * does NOT match a set of "exclude" reg-ex patterns and
 * does match a set of "include" reg-ex patterns.
 * 
 * Usually, either the "include" or the "exclude" setting is used, whichever is easier to define. If both settings are
 * used at the same time, the "exclude" patterns take precedence. An empty pattern set means that any string is included
 * and none is excluded, respectively.
