Benchmarks with concat()?

[nisbet-hubbard]

You wrote in the accompanying blogpost that you’re limiting the capturing wildcards to 8 so the difference may not be significant. But since the old concat() function remains available, I’m wondering how the two compares in terms of performance.

This crate only provides wildcard matching, it doesn't know anything about the rules engine (which concat() is a part of). Also, there's no limits on captures or metacharacters in this crate: that's all enforced by the rules engine.
