Do we need faster regex?

[Dmitry Olshansky]

So I’ve been working on rewind-regex trying to correct all of the 
decisions in the original engine that slowed it down, dropping 
some features that I knew I cannot implement efficiently 
(backreferences have to go).

So while I’m obsessed with simplicity and speed I thought I’d ask 
people if it was an issue and what they really want from gen2 
regex library.
