 Regular Expression Constants
 ----------------------------
 
    A regexp constant is a regular expression description enclosed in
 slashes, such as `/^beginning and end$/'.  Most regexps used in `awk'
 programs are constant, but the `~' and `!~' matching operators can also
 match computed or "dynamic" regexps (which are just ordinary strings or
 variables that contain a regexp).
