-// ## External Dependencies

-// you still have get the external library into the global namespace. This is done with `extern crate docopt`, and that statement *has* to be
-// in `main.rs`. So please go there, and enable this commented-out line. Then remove the attribute of the `rgrep` module.

- // Finally, we can call the `run` function from the previous part on the options extracted using `get_options`. Edit `main.rs` to call this function.

-// **Exercise 13.3**: Wouldn't it be nice if rgrep supported regular expressions? There's already a crate that does all the parsing and matching on regular
-// expression, it's called [regex](https://crates.io/crates/regex). Add this crate to the dependencies of your workspace, add an option ("-r") to switch
-// the pattern to regular-expression mode, and change `filter_lines` to honor this option. The documentation of regex is available from its crates.io site.
