Built-in regex engine seems to not support the one feature critical to
the dict_regex operation - it is not able to report the "partial match"
in a case when the matching fails solely due to premature end of input
string (i.e. when matching may possibly succeed after adding some data
to the string).
If it is possible to achieve this behaviour with built-in engine, please
point me to the right direction.
Adding new code at this stage of the process is bad enough. Adding new
code which adds a library dependency we have not previously had at this
stage of the process is quite unacceptable IMNSHO, and I will protest
very loudly about it. Quite apart from anything else it will almost
certainly break many buildfarm members.
Are we in beta or not? To me, beta means nothing but bug fixes go in,
period. No ifs, no buts, no maybes, no exceptions. And that should
definitely go for contrib as well. We need a bit of self-discipline
around here.
