Lynn - it might be interesting to use re2c (http://re2c.org/) to
generate regex machines and see what their performance is like - after
all, they do clain 're2c generates warning free code that is equal to
hand-written code in terms of size, speed and quality.' (I'm offering
no opinion on the veracity of that statement....), so (allegedly)
they'd give a reasonable hand-code analogue....
