Given that rx_compile syntax and semantics aren't really final and
second that compiling a rx takes substantial time, I'd do something like
this:
# classes/rx_compiler.pmc
#
pmclass Rx_Compiler extends Compiler need_ext {
...
METHOD rx_to_fsa(){...} # as discussed today - NCI method
...
}
Then cou can
Px = new Rx_Compiler
foo = Px."rx_to_fsa"(bar)
... whatever is appropriate
You can experiment with needed methods, implement new ...
You can subclass the Rx_Compiler, implement it in PIR and what not.
Eventually for gaining the last bit of speed, we could make opcodes for
the methods.
