Hitori is generic compile-time regular expressions library. It works by creating series of if-statements and for-loops for each expression.
See code samples along with the traits, impls and structs they expand to in examples.
Pattern matching is step-by-step. It is impossible to to detach last element of a repetition.
For example, using regex one can rewrite a+ as a*a and it would still match any
sequence of as longer than zero. With hitori, however, a* would consume
all the as, and the expression won't match.
Step-by step pattern matching also leads to diminished performance when matching large texts and an expression contains repetitions of frequent characters.
