// BRANCH The set of branches constituting a single choice are hooked

//      anything being concatenated to any individual branch.  The
//      "next" pointer of the last BRANCH in a choice points to the
//      thing following the whole choice.  This is also where the
//      final "next" pointer of each individual branch points; each
//      branch starts with the operand node of a BRANCH node.
// BACK Normal "next" pointers all implicitly point forward; BACK
//      exists to make loop structures possible.
// STAR,PLUS,BRACES '?', and complex '*' and '+', are implemented as
//      circular BRANCH structures using BACK. Complex '{min,max}'
//      - as pair LOOPENTRY-LOOP (see below). Simple cases (one
//      character per match) are implemented with STAR, PLUS and
//      BRACES for speed and to minimize recursive plunges.
// LOOPENTRY,LOOP {min,max} are implemented as special pair
//      LOOPENTRY-LOOP. Each LOOPENTRY initialize loopstack for
//      current level.
// OPEN,CLOSE are numbered at compile time.
