[Python-Dev] CML2 compiler speedup

[John Aycock]

| talking about performance, has anyone played with using SRE's
| lastindex/lastgroup stuff with SPARK?

Not yet.  I will defer to Tim's informed opinion on this.

Well, if I'm wishing..  :-)

I would like all the parts of an alternation A|B|C to be searched for
at the same time (my assumption is that they aren't currently).  And
I'd also love a flag that would disable "first then longest" semantics
in favor of always taking the longest match.
