The reason for passing the C structure to Smalltalk is that it allows
the user to access it directly as an optimization, and also to decide
that they would prefer the results in something other than a
Dictionary of Intervals.
It's fine with me. I am applying a similar patch, except that I create
an object rather than a Dictionary, and I am using the full version all
around.
I'm still testing, I'll post it here.
Incidentally, the fact that both regex implementations are in the
examples directory suggests that they are not 'official' packages.
Could we not elevate one to 'official' status?
I did not want to do so until we had an official API. But it was
already "kind of" official, in that it was loaded by the module Regex.
Also, there is only one implementation in fact.
