Class PatternPro

public class PatternPro extends Pattern

Regular expression based on a minimized deterministic automaton (FSA) and designed as a set of strings.
Use this class to manipulate a reular expression through set oprations or automaton methods
PatternPro differs from Pattern that the contributed set of strings is mutable through the methods addAll, removeAll and retainAll.
Further PaternPro provides access to its PAutomaton through the getAutomaton method. So it is possible to inspect the automaton's states through PAutomaton's methods.
