                        CF_pattern

A facet that constrains the lexical representation of a value to match one of a set of patterns.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#rf-pattern

Note: In PyXB, pattern constraints are ignored for any type with a Python representation that does not derive from basestring. This is due to the difficulty in reconstructing the lexical representation of a non-string type after it has been converted to its value space.

To Do: On creating new instances of non-string simple types from string representations, we could apply pattern constraints. That would mean checking them prior to invoking the Factory method.
