This is an idea for allowing custom thinning of repeats. It currently replaces
\w\wand similar with three preset values, but the implementation could be a generated set, and could be generically reducing the complete set defined by the regex to be a subset (i.e. sampling/lossy compression).Only the test depends on https://github.com/jayvdb/sre-tools . I am happy to directly contribute a copy of the relevant code here if there is a desire to incorporate this type of functionality. Personally I am happy to call the simplification algorithm before invoking
sre_yield, so I am not pushing for inclusion of that feature. However there are a lot of optimisations that can be done by only merging adjacent identical nodes whilst doing the expansion, because sre_yield is already creating its own internal tree.
