Chunk

@uml A chunk is either a token tag, a rule tag, or a span of literal text within a tree pattern.

<p>The method {@link ParseTreePatternMatcher#split(String)} returns a list of chunks in preparation for creating a token stream by {@link ParseTreePatternMatcher#tokenize(String)}. From there, we get a parse tree from with {@link ParseTreePatternMatcher#compile(String, int)}. These chunks are converted to {@link RuleTagToken}, {@link TokenTagToken}, or the regular tokens of the text surrounding the tags.</p>
