Fast regular expressions

[Jascha Wetzel]

ah, ic. that will be parameterized later on so you can choose whether
to have the dot match it or not.
you can easily patch it into the alpha by changing charclass.d line 76 to
static const CharClass!(char_t) any_char = {parts: [{l:32, r:127},
{l:10,r:10}, {l:13,r:13}]};
