/**
 * If a type is annotated as {@code @Regex(n)}, then the run-time value is a regular expression with
 * n capturing groups.
 *
 * For example, if an expression's type is @Regex(2) String, then at run time its value
 * will be a legal regular expression with at least two capturing groups. The type states that
 * possible run-time values include {@code "(a*)(b*)"}, {@code "a(b?)c(d?)e"}, and {@code
 * "(.)(.)(.)"}, but not {@code "hello"} nor {@code "(good)bye"} nor {@code "(a*)(b*)("}.
