This module can be used to parse & compile nth-checks, as they are found in CSS 3's `nth-child()` and `nth-last-of-type()`. It can be used to check if a given index matches a given nth-rule, or to generate a sequence of indices matching a given nth-rule.
`nth-check` focusses on speed, providing optimized functions for different kinds of nth-child formulas, while still following the [spec](http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#nth-child-pseudo).
If the formula doesn't match any elements, it returns [`boolbase`](https://github.com/fb55/boolbase)'s `falseFunc`. Otherwise, a function accepting an _index_ is returned, which returns whether or not the passed _index_ matches the formula.
Parses the expression, throws an `Error` if it fails. Otherwise, returns an array containing the integer step size and the integer offset of the nth rule.
