    Finding nested delimiters is hard with regular expressions. It is
    even harder on Python with its normal re module, as there are several
    advanced regular expressions that are missing.

    This is the case of this pattern:

            '\\bSTRUCT_GROUP(\\(((?:(?>[^)(]+)|(?1))*)\\))[^;]*;'

    which is used to properly match open/close parenthesis of the
    string search STRUCT_GROUP(),

    Add a class that counts pairs of delimiters, using it to match and
    replace nested expressions.

    The original approach was suggested by:
        https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5454322/python-how-to-match-nested-parentheses-with-regex

    Although I re-implemented it to make it more generic and match 3 types
    of delimiters. The logic checks if delimiters are paired. If not, it
    will ignore the search string.

    # TODO: make NestedMatch handle multiple match groups

    # Right now, regular expressions to match it are defined only up to
    #       the start delimiter, e.g.:
    #
    #       \bSTRUCT_GROUP\(
    #
    # is similar to: STRUCT_GROUP\((.*)\)
    # except that the content inside the match group is delimiter's aligned.
    #
    # The content inside parenthesis are converted into a single replace
    # group (e.g. r`\1').
    #
    # It would be nice to change such definition to support multiple
    # match groups, allowing a regex equivalent to.
    #
    #   FOO\((.*), (.*), (.*)\)
    #
    # it is probably easier to define it not as a regular expression, but
    # with some lexical definition like:
    #

        The suggestion of using finditer to match pairs came from:
        https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5454322/python-how-to-match-nested-parentheses-with-regex
        but I ended using a different implementation to align all three types
        of delimiters and seek for an initial regular expression.

        The algorithm seeks for open/close paired delimiters and place them
        into a stack, yielding a start/stop position of each match  when the
        stack is zeroed.

        The algorithm shoud work fine for properly paired lines, but will
        silently ignore end delimiters that preceeds an start delimiter.
        This should be OK for kernel-doc parser, as unaligned delimiters
        would cause compilation errors. So, we don't need to rise exceptions
        to cover such issues.
