# Function: .bracket_pairs
#
#
#


# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- #

# This function finds corresponding pairs of brackets in a logical rule.
# It returns a matrix with three columns. Each row containing one bracket
# pair, the first value is the position of the opening bracket in the
# string, the second value is the position of the closing bracket and the
# third element is the length of the text between the brackets (excluding
# the brackets).
# Argument rule is a character vector, each element being one letter of
# the original text string.

        pairc <- 0   # counter for pairs

        # positions of opening brackets

        bpair <- matrix(0, nrow = nop, ncol = 3)
