It seems I'll have to do it alone for the time being. Well, I'll do my best
:)

I coded a quick & dirty thingy to collect data about this. I only looked at
attacking patterns and deleted that ugly code immediately after. What I
observed was following (in order of importance) :

- A1120 : extremely wasteful, work in progress on this one
- A1002 : extremely wasteful, but I still haven't thought of a good
          replacement and/or change here.
- A1124 : Arend's recent patch must have improved things a bit. But it is
          probably still quite inefficient, since I haven't observed a big
          change in owl nodes.
- VA44  : quite wasteful for a vital attack pattern
