Extend String

Regular expressions on a String: whether one matches, and replacing and splitting by one.

@PanicsAtCaller Public Method Matches(pattern: String): Bool Throws RegexError method #

Whether pattern matches somewhere in it, as Regex(pattern).IsMatch does. Its compiled pattern is kept for a while, so calling it again with the same one doesn't compile it again.
@PanicsAtCaller Public Method ReplaceAll(pattern: String, replacement: String): String Throws RegexError method #

A copy with each match of pattern replaced by replacement, as Regex(pattern).Replace does.
@PanicsAtCaller Public Method SplitBy(pattern: String): String[] Throws RegexError method #
The parts between each match of pattern, as Regex(pattern).Split gives them.

Examples
```
Expect((Try "a1b22c".SplitBy(r"\d+")) == ["a", "b", "c"])
Expect(Try "hello".Matches(r"^h.*o$"))
```
