the alternatives in a choice node. The quick checks
are conservative in the sense that they only detect
failure with certainty. Checks can do 2 or 4 characters
at a time.
* Inline the quick checks to allow the alternatives to
be checked without branching in the common case where
they fail.

* Facility for generating a node several ways. This allows
code to be generated for a node knowing where it is trying
to match relative to the 'current position' and it allows
code to be generated that knows where to backtrack to. Both
allow dramatic reductions in the amount of popping and pushing
on the stack and the number of indirect jumps.
* Generate special backtracking for greedy quantifiers on
constant-length atoms. This allows .* to run in constant
space relative to input string size.
* When we are checking a long sequence of characters or character
classes in the input then we do them right to left and only the
first (rightmost) needs to check for end-of-string.
* Record the pattern in the profile instead of just <CompiledRegExp>
* Nodes no longer contain an on_failure_ node. This was only used
for lookaheads and they are now handled with a choice node instead.
