(** * Definitions *)
(** [RegExp], a type for regular expressions, consists of following constructors: - [Empty] : matches no strings, - [Eps] : matches an empty string $(\epsilon)$, - [Char c] : matches a single charater [c], - [Cat r1 r2] : [r1 ++ r2] matches [s1 ++ s2] iff [r1, r2] match [s1, s2], respectively, - [Or r1 r2] : [r1 || r2] matches [s1] or [s2] iff [r1, r2] match [s1, s2], respectively, - [Star r] : [Star r] matches a zero-or-more times repetition of [s] iff [r] matches [s]; Kleene star $r^{\ast}$ #r*#, - [Not r] : [Not r] matches [s] iff [r] does not match [s], - [And r1 r2] : [And r1 r2] matches [s] iff both [r1, r2] match [s].  Though [Not] and [And] are not necessary for regular expression, they would be useful in real use.  You may add another constructor to [RegExp] because no inductions on [RegExp] are used in the proofs of the library. Just add your constructor to definitions of [RegExp], [nu], and [derive] with consistency. *)
