Module Name:
seq_derive.h
Abstract:
Symbolic derivative computation for regular expressions.
Produces an ITE-tree (transition regex) representation where
the free variable is de Bruijn index 0 representing the input character.
Based on the theory of symbolic derivatives and transition regexes:
- Veanes et al., "On Symbolic Derivatives and Transition Regexes" (LPAR 2024)
- Varatalu, Veanes, Ernits, "RE#" (POPL 2025)

/**
* Symbolic derivative engine for regular expressions.
*
* Given a regex r, operator()(r) computes a symbolic derivative δ(r)
* represented as an ITE-tree over character predicates (using de Bruijn
* variable 0 for the character). Evaluating the ITE-tree for a concrete
* character 'a' yields the classical Brzozowski derivative δ_a(r).
*
* The ITE-tree structure implicitly defines minterms (equivalence classes
* of characters indistinguishable by the regex).
*
* Key properties:
* - Results are memoized for termination on cyclic derivative graphs
* - Union/intersection operands are sorted for ACI canonicalization
* - Depth-bounded to prevent stack overflow
