 The engine and the API differ from [regexp] in a few ways, some of them very subtle.
 The key differences are mentioned below.

-2. Byte-slices and runes:
 
 My engine does not support byte-slices. When a matching function receives a string, it converts it into a
 rune-slice to iterate through it. While this has some space overhead, the convenience of built-in unicode
 support made the tradeoff worth it.
 
-3. Return values
+2. Return values
 
 Rather than using primitives for return values, my engine defines two types that are used as return
 values: a [Group] represents a capturing group, and a [Match] represents a list of groups.
