r"""Convert old ("regex") regular expressions to new syntax ("re").

When imported as a module, there are two functions, with their own

strings:

  convert(s, syntax=None) -- convert a regex regular expression to re syntax

  quote(s) -- return a quoted string literal

When used as a script, read a Python string literal (or any other

expression evaluating to a string) from stdin, and write the

translated expression to stdout as a string literal.  Unless stdout is

a tty, no trailing \n is written to stdout.  This is done so that it

can be used with Emacs C-U M-| (shell-command-on-region with argument

which filters the region through the shell command).

No attempt has been made at coding for performance.

Translation table...

    \(    (     (unless RE_NO_BK_PARENS set)

    \)    )     (unless RE_NO_BK_PARENS set)

    \|    |     (unless RE_NO_BK_VBAR set)

    \<    \b    (not quite the same, but alla...)

    \>    \b    (not quite the same, but alla...)

    \`    \A

    \'    \Z

Not translated...

    .

    ^

    $

    *

    +           (unless RE_BK_PLUS_QM set, then to \+)

    ?           (unless RE_BK_PLUS_QM set, then to \?)

    \

    \b

    \B

    \w

    \W

    \1 ... \9

Special cases...

    Non-printable characters are always replaced by their 3-digit

    escape code (except \t, \n, \r, which use mnemonic escapes)

    Newline is turned into | when RE_NEWLINE_OR is set

XXX To be done...

    [...]     (different treatment of backslashed items?)

    [^...]    (different treatment of backslashed items?)

    ^ $ * + ? (in some error contexts these are probably treated differently)

    \vDD  \DD (in the regex docs but only works when RE_ANSI_HEX set)

    The first argument is the regular expression, as a string object,

    just like it would be passed to regex.compile().  (I.e., pass the

    actual string object -- string quotes must already have been

    removed and the standard escape processing has already been done,

    e.g. by eval().)

    The optional second argument is the regex syntax variant to be

    used.  This is an integer mask as passed to regex.set_syntax();

    the flag bits are defined in regex_syntax.  When not specified, or

    when None is given, the current regex syntax mask (as retrieved by

    regex.get_syntax()) is used -- which is 0 by default.

    The return value is a regular expression, as a string object that

    could be passed to re.compile().  (I.e., no string quotes have

    been added -- use quote() below, or repr().)

    The conversion is not always guaranteed to be correct.  More

    syntactical analysis should be performed to detect borderline

    cases and decide what to do with them.  For example, 'x*?' is not

    translated correctly.
