currently my plans are to finish it :). it is supposed to become a
very fast pattern matcher (i hope so ;) specifically designed for
joseki database. the main intention is to use it with joseki reader
some day - an idea by Evan and Inge as far as i remember. it (the
reader, not the matcher) should be able valuate several available
joseki continuations taking into account moyo and and general
influence of distant stones - e.g. select the side on which to
block a 3-3 invasion, maybe choose between low/high shimari after
3-6 approach to hoshi (is shimari a correct term here?).
