I learned about SIMD based hyperscan regex scanning libs being
super fast, so I refactored grab a bit to make it possible
to load different regex engines at runtime for speed comparison.
I was also told about a quite popular similar project and
compared it to my greppin branch. Enjoy!
Update:I checked the code of hs_scan_vector() and it's just
iterating over the scatter array and calling internal scan
functions on it. I thought it could be using SIMD for it too,
but I was stupid. So, no more speedup on that front.
While digging into that topic, I noticed that apparently quite
lot of NIDS technology is still relying on regexes in 2020 (lol).
