      public final class PatternTokenizer
      extends Tokenizer

  This tokenizer uses regex pattern matching to construct distinct tokens for the input stream. It takes two arguments: "pattern" and "group".
  - "pattern" is the regular expression.
  - "group" says which group to extract into tokens.

  group=-1 (the default) is equivalent to "split". In this case, the tokens will be equivalent to the output from (without empty tokens): `String.split(java.lang.String)`

  Using group >= 0 selects the matching group as the token. For example, if you have:

        pattern = \'([^\']+)\'
        group = 0
        input = aaa 'bbb' 'ccc'

  the output will be two tokens: 'bbb' and 'ccc' (including the ' marks). With the same input but using group=1, the output would be: bbb and ccc (no ' marks)

  NOTE: This Tokenizer does not output tokens that are of zero length.
