  // A node of an Aho Corasick Tree. This is implemented according to
  // http://www.cs.uku.fi/~kilpelai/BSA05/lectures/slides04.pdf
  //
  // The algorithm is based on the idea of building a trie of all registered
  // patterns. Each node of the tree is annotated with a set of pattern
  // IDs that are used to report matches.
  //
  // The root of the trie represents an empty match. If we were looking whether
  // any registered pattern matches a text at the beginning of the text (i.e.
  // whether any pattern is a prefix of the text), we could just follow
  // nodes in the trie according to the matching characters in the text.
  // E.g., if text == "foobar", we would follow the trie from the root node
  // to its child labeled 'f', from there to child 'o', etc. In this process we
  // would report all pattern IDs associated with the trie nodes as matches.
  //
  // As we are not looking for all prefix matches but all substring matches,
  // this algorithm would need to compare text.substr(0), text.substr(1), ...
  // against the trie, which is in O(|text|^2).
  //
  // The Aho Corasick algorithm improves this runtime by using failure edges.
  // In case we have found a partial match of length k in the text
  // (text[i, ..., i + k - 1]) in the trie starting at the root and ending at
  // a node at depth k, but cannot find a match in the trie for character
  // text[i + k] at depth k + 1, we follow a failure edge. This edge
  // corresponds to the longest proper suffix of text[i, ..., i + k - 1] that
  // is a prefix of any registered pattern.
