  - newline handling (uses all known formats of ASCII, #10,#13,#13#10 and #$85

  TODO:
     - correct backtracking, for example in (...)*
     - full | support (currently requires to put all items with | operator
        between parenthesis (in a group) to take care over order priority.
          Therefore the following would work: (foo)|(nofoo) but not
          foo|nofoo
     - getting substrings and using substrings with \1 etc.
     - do we treat several multiline characters in a row as a single
        newline character for $ and ^?
