+WARNING: This module merely *seems* to work given all the catastrophic regular

+background in automata to be absolutely sure that this module will catch all
+exponential-time cases.

+# example
+
+``` js

+var regex = process.argv.slice(2).join(' ');
+console.log(safe(regex));
+```
+
+```
+$ node safe.js '(x+x+)+y'
+false

+true
+```
+
+# methods
+
+``` js
+var safe = require('safe-regex')
+```
+
+## var ok = safe(re, opts={})
+
+Return a boolean `ok` whether or not the regex `re` is safe and not possibly
+catastrophic.
+
+`re` can be a `RegExp` object or just a string.
+
+If the `re` is a string and is an invalid regex, returns `false`.
+
+* `opts.limit` - maximum number of allowed repetitions in the entire regex.
+Default: `25`.
