Rationale for this change
The current regular expressions section of the compatibility guide is two sentences long. It tells the user that Comet uses the Rust regexp crate and falls back to Spark by default, but does not explain why the two engines differ or what to look out for when deciding whether to opt in via
spark.comet.expression.regexp.allowIncompatible=true. Users hitting fallbacks have no high-level reference for the kinds of pattern features that are not portable between Java and Rust.What changes are included in this PR?
