/**
 * Provides the API for a pattern compiler. 
 * Pattern-Util API To compile a {@link java.util.regex.Pattern} from a string you can use a
 * {@link net.sf.mmm.util.pattern.api.PatternCompiler} instead of {@link java.util.regex.Pattern#compile(String)}. This
 * allows to exchange the implementation and e.g. support a different pattern syntax such as the common glob-patterns
 * while still providing a Java regex-{@link java.util.regex.Pattern} (and NOT some non-JDK object such as ORO or
 * whatever).
