/**
* @brief Generates a random string matching @p pattern.
*
* Supported syntax:
* - literals
* - `.`
* - alternation `|`
* - groups `(...)` and non-capturing groups `(?:...)`
* - quantifiers `*` `+` `?` `{n}` `{n,}` `{n,m}`
* - character classes `[...]` / `[^...]`
* - shorthand escapes `\d \D \w \W \s \S \n \t \r`
*
* Not supported: lookaround, backreferences, and lazy quantifiers.
*
* @param pattern Regular expression to generate a matching
* string for.
* @param rng Random source driving alternation/quantifier/
* class choices.
* @param unbounded_repeat_cap Extra repeats allowed on top of the declared
* minimum for unbounded quantifiers
* (`*`, `+`, `{n,}`).
*
* @return A string satisfying `std::regex_match(result, std::regex(pattern))`
* for any @p pattern within the supported syntax subset.
*
* @throws std::runtime_error if @p pattern cannot be parsed.
