Hi, Ivan
The change looks fine.
I would call this "noreg-cleanup". Tests are needed to confirm the
correctness of the new code, which I imagine we already have.
One small suggestion:
src/java.base/share/classes/java/util/regex/Pattern.java
4271 * and unlimited maximum, for *, + and {N,} quantifiers.
If the maximum is still MAX_REPS, I'd prefer to continue to say that
(rather than, "unlimited.")
Thanks.

Hello!
When building a match-tree, the regex engine optimizes '*' and '+'
greedy quantifiers by using special node of type CharPropertyGreedy.
This later class can be used unmodified for other greedy quantifiers
without the upper limit, i.e. of type '{N,}'.
Would you please help review this simple optimization?

(With the fix, one unused class was also removed. This class was to
implement conditionals, which were never supported by Java regexs.)
