**match** outputs an object for each match it finds. Matches have
the following fields:
-
+
* `offset` - offset in UTF-8 codepoints from the beginning of the input
* `length` - length in UTF-8 codepoints of the match
* `string` - the string that it matched
* `captures` - an array of objects representing capturing groups.

Capturing group objects have the following fields:

- Emit a stream of the non-overlapping substrings of the input

- To capture all the matches for each input string, use the idiom
- [ expr ], e.g. [ scan(regex) ].

- - program: 'scan("c")'

- For backwards compatibility, `split` emits an array of the strings
- corresponding to the successive segments of the input string after it
- has been split at the boundaries defined by the regex and any
- specified flags. The substrings corresponding to the boundaries
- themselves are excluded. If regex is the empty string, then the first
- match will be the empty string.
-
- `split(regex)` can be thought of as a wrapper around `splits(regex)`,
- and similarly for `split(regex; flags)`.

- example:
- - program: 'split(", *")'
- input: '"ab,cd, ef"`
