///| Gitignore-style pattern matching
///
/// Pure gitignore pattern matcher with zero dependencies.
/// Implements the full `.gitignore` specification: `*`, `?`, `**` globs,
/// negation (`!`), directory-only rules (`/`), anchored patterns,
/// nested base directories, and comment/escape handling.
///
/// ## Quick start — filter files with `.gitignore` rules
///
/// ```moonbit
/// let m = @ignore.Matcher::new()
/// m.add_rules("", "node_modules/\n*.log\n!important.log\n")
///
/// assert_true(m.is_ignored("node_modules/express/index.js", false))
/// assert_true(m.is_ignored("debug.log", false))
/// assert_false(m.is_ignored("important.log", false))
/// assert_false(m.is_ignored("src/app.ts", false))
/// ```
///
/// ## Use as a git-aware glob filter
///
/// Stack multiple `.gitignore` files from nested directories,
/// then filter a file list in one pass:
///
/// ```moonbit
/// let m = @ignore.Matcher::new()
///
/// // Root .gitignore
/// m.add_rules("", "*.log\n/dist/\nbuild/\n")
///
/// // Subdirectory .gitignore (rules scoped to "src/")
/// m.add_rules("src", "*.generated.*\n!keep.generated.ts\n")
///
/// // Filter a list of paths
/// let files : Array[String] = [
/// "src/app.ts", // kept
/// "src/data.generated.js", // ignored by src/.gitignore
/// "src/keep.generated.ts", // kept (negation)
/// "dist/bundle.js", // ignored by /dist (anchored)
/// "lib/build/out.o", // ignored by build/
/// "server.log", // ignored by *.log
/// ]
/// let visible = files.filter(fn(p) { !(m.is_ignored(p, false)) })
/// // visible = ["src/app.ts", "src/keep.generated.ts"]
/// ```
///
/// ## Directory traversal with backtracking
///
/// Use `truncate()` to scope rules when walking a directory tree:
///
/// ```moonbit
/// let m = @ignore.Matcher::new()
/// m.add_rules("", "*.tmp\n")
///
/// // Enter "src/" — add its .gitignore
/// let saved = m.len()
/// m.add_rules("src", "*.bak\n")
/// assert_true(m.is_ignored("src/file.bak", false))
///
/// // Leave "src/" — restore matcher state
/// m.truncate(saved)
/// assert_false(m.is_ignored("src/file.bak", false))
/// // Root rules still active
/// assert_true(m.is_ignored("any/path/file.tmp", false))
/// ```
///
/// ## Standalone glob matching
///
/// `match_glob` works as a general-purpose glob matcher
/// (not tied to gitignore semantics):
///
/// ```moonbit
/// assert_true(@ignore.match_glob("*.ts", "app.ts"))
/// assert_true(@ignore.match_glob("src/*.test.*", "src/app.test.js"))
/// assert_false(@ignore.match_glob("*.ts", "app.js"))
/// ```
///
/// ## Pattern syntax reference
///
/// | Pattern | Matches |
/// |---------|---------|
/// | `*.log` | Any file ending in `.log` at any depth |
/// | `node_modules/` | The `node_modules` directory and all contents |
/// | `/build/` | Only `build/` directory at the root (anchored) |
/// | `!important.log` | Un-ignore `important.log` (negation) |
/// | `**/*.test.js` | `.test.js` files at any depth |
/// | `doc/**/*.md` | `.md` files under `doc/` at any depth |
/// | `temp?` | `temp` + any single character (`temp1`, `tempA`) |
/// | `\!literal` | Match literal `!` (escaped) |
///
/// ## Performance
///
/// Pattern segments are pre-compiled at parse time. Path matching
/// operates on string ranges without allocating substrings.
///
/// - `match_glob`: ~0.3 µs per call
/// - `is_ignored` (20 rules): ~4–8 µs per path
/// - 1000 paths × 20 rules: ~4 ms
///|
