module RegexpExamples
  # Given an array of arrays of strings, returns all possible perutations
  # for strings, created by joining one element from each array
  #
  # For example:
  # permutations_of_strings [ ['a'], ['b'], ['c', 'd', 'e'] ] #=> ['abc', 'abd', 'abe']
  # permutations_of_strings [ ['a', 'b'], ['c', 'd'] ] #=> [ 'ac', 'ad', 'bc', 'bd' ]
  #
  # Edge case:
  # permutations_of_strings [ [] ] #=> nil
  # (For example, ths occurs during /[^\d\D]/.examples #=> [])
