REmatch: a novel regex engine for finding all matches
Summary: REmatch: a regex engine implementing theoretically optimal enumeration for regexes with capture variables under all-match semantics. Introduces a new algorithm and practical optimizations to avoid naive-implementation costs, matching or beating popular engines while returning every capture match.
