### `RegexMatch`
Represents the result of an execution. On failure, it is `nil`. The available
fields are as follows:
- `pattern: Regex` - the pattern that is being matched
- `str: string` - the string that was matched against
- `captures[int|string]: string` - the string value of whatever was captured
at that id. If the value is invalid, then behavior is undefined. If the id
is `-1`, then the whole match is returned. If the given capture was not
matched, `nil` is returned.
- `captureBounds[int|string]: Option[Slice[int]]` - gets the bounds of the
given capture according to the same rules as the above. If the capture is
not filled, then `None` is returned. The upper bound is exclusive, the lower
bound is inclusive.
- `match: string` - the full text of the match.
- `matchBounds: Slice[int]` - the bounds of the match, as in `captureBounds[]`
- `(captureBounds|captures).asTable` - returns a table with each named capture
as a key.
- `(captureBounds|capture).toSeq` - returns all the captures by their number.
### `Pattern`
Represents the pattern that things are matched against, constructed with
`initRegex(string)` or `re(string)`.
- `pattern: string` - the string that was used to create the pattern.
- `captureCount: int` - the number of captures that the pattern has.
- `captureNameId: Table[string, int]` - a table from the capture names to
their numeric id.
