Teaching Rakudo the tricks of Perl 5's regex optimiser

2019-08-13 Thread Nicholas Clark
regexp/regexp4.html it mentions building trigrams (directly) from parsing the regex (with ANDs and ORs) which is what some $ork code is doing (but then using PCRE, not re2). Anyway, I hope that this helps someone, and helps make Rakudo's parser faster I assume that the useful strategy is roughly 0)
