+ Arguments:
+ str - a string expression
+ regexp - a string expression. The pattern string should be a Java
regular expression.
+
+ Since Spark 2.0, string literals (including regex patterns) are
unescaped in our SQL parser.
+ For example, if the `str` parameter is "abc\td", the `regexp` can
match it is:
+ "^abc\\\\td$".
+
+ Examples:
+ > SELECT '%SystemDrive%\Users\John' _FUNC_ '%SystemDrive%\\Users.*'
+ true
