-------------------------------------------------------------

Possible item of code. Useful in password strength testing (see: LANG-573):

    public static int countMatches(String text, String regex) {
        Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regex);
        Matcher m = p.matcher(text);
        int count = 0;
        while(m.find()) {
            count++;
        }
        return count;
    }

Overload, as I suspect all RegexUtils methods would be with Pattern. Alternative, per IO and File objects, don't support a String regex API.
