RFR 8235930 : java.util.regex.PrintPattern does not print a link to the next node

[Martin Buchholz]

Hi Ivan,

Did you mean to change from System.err to System.out?

I might have fixed the overloading by giving one of the overloaded methods
a better name.  How about
private static void printIndented(String s, int depth)
