+// This is the Two-Way search algorithm, which was introduced in the paper:
+// Crochemore, M., Perrin, D., 1991, Two-way string-matching, Journal of the ACM 38(3):651-675.
+//
+// Here's some background information.
+//
+// A *word* is a string of symbols. The *length* of a word should be a familiar
+// notion, and here we denote it for any word x by |x|. (We also allow for the
+// possibility of the *empty word*, a word of length zero.)
+//
+// If x is any non-empty word, then an integer p with 0 < p <= |x| is said to be
+// a *period* for x iff for all i with 0 <= i <= |x| - p - 1, we have x[i] ==
+// x[i+p]. For example, both 1 and 2 are periods for the string "aa". As another
+// example, the only period of the string "abcd" is 4.
+//
+// We denote by period(x) the *smallest* period of x (provided that x is
+// non-empty). This is always well-defined since every non-empty word x has at
+// least one period, |x|. We sometimes call this *the period* of x.
+//
+// If u, v and x are words such that x = uv, where uv is the concatenation of u
+// and v, then we say that (u, v) is a *factorization* of x.
+//
+// Let (u, v) be a factorization for a word x. Then if w is a non-empty word
+// such that both of the following hold
+//
+// - either w is a suffix of u or u is a suffix of w
+// - either w is a prefix of v or v is a prefix of w
+//
+// then w is said to be a *repetition* for the factorization (u, v).
+//
+// Just to unpack this, there are four possibilities here. Let w = "abc". Then
+// we might have:
+//
+// - w is a suffix of u and w is a prefix of v. ex: ("lolabc", "abcde")
+// - w is a suffix of u and v is a prefix of w. ex: ("lolabc", "ab")
+// - u is a suffix of w and w is a prefix of v. ex: ("bc", "abchi")
+// - u is a suffix of w and v is a prefix of w. ex: ("bc", "a")
+//
+// Note that the word vu is a repetition for any factorization (u,v) of x = uv,
+// so every factorization has at least one repetition.
+//
+// If x is a string and (u, v) is a factorization for x, then a *local period*
+// for (u, v) is an integer r such that there is some word w such that |w| = r
+// and w is a repetition for (u, v).
+//
+// We denote by local_period(u, v) the smallest local period of (u, v). We
+// sometimes call this *the local period* of (u, v). Provided that x = uv is
+// non-empty, this is well-defined (because each non-empty word has at least one
+// factorization, as noted above).
+//
+// It can be proven that the following is an equivalent definition of a local
+// period for a factorization (u, v): any positive integer r such that x[i] ==
+// x[i+r] for all i such that |u| - r <= i <= |u| - 1 and such that both x[i]
+// and x[i+r] are defined. (i.e., i > 0 and i + r < |x|).
+//
+// Using the above reformulation, it is easy to prove that
+//
+// 1 <= local_period(u, v) <= period(uv)
+//
+// A factorization (u, v) of x such that local_period(u,v) = period(x) is called
+// a *critical factorization*.
+//
+// The algorithm hinges on the following theorem, which is stated without proof:
+//
+// **Critical Factorization Theorem** Any word x has at least one critical
+// factorization (u, v) such that |u| < period(x).
+//
+// The purpose of maximal_suffix is to find such a critical factorization.
+//
+// If the period is short, compute another factorization x = u' v' to use for
+// reverse search, chosen instead so that |v'| < period(x).
