  // express a character, a certain character class and a number of times the
  // entity should be repeated in the pattern.

  // \c - unichar for which UNICHARSET::get_isalpha() is true (character)
  // \d - unichar for which UNICHARSET::get_isdigit() is true

  // \a - unichar for which UNICHARSET::get_islower() is true
  // \A - unichar for which UNICHARSET::get_isupper() is true
  //
  // \* could be specified after each character or pattern to indicate that
  // the character/pattern can be repeated any number of times before the next
  // character/pattern occurs.

  // 1-8\d\d-GOOG-411 will be expanded to strings:
  // 1-800-GOOG-411, 1-801-GOOG-411, ... 1-899-GOOG-411.
  //
  // http://www.\n\*.com will be expanded to strings like:
  // http://www.a.com http://www.a123.com ... http://www.ABCDefgHIJKLMNop.com
  //
  // Note: In choosing which patterns to include please be aware of the fact
  // providing very generic patterns will make tesseract run slower.
  // For example \n\* at the beginning of the pattern will make Tesseract
  // consider all the combinations of proposed character choices for each
  // of the segmentations, which will be unacceptably slow.
