new match2 plugin

Hello,

I’m building my own match function, probably add it as an extension because it requires a dependency which will increase the code size.

I have so far figured out that I can use termList to get all the terms to match against and now I’m trying to save the groups. How do I set the groups for a matched term, I need to set multiple by name, number, and the total match as group 0? The code for the match function is a bit hard to follow.

Also turns out using a subset of termList with buildFrom to build a doc doesn’t actually work as expected, it fails when I run text() on the new document.

@spencermountain sorry, I’ve not had much time to get to it. We’ll lose git history anyway if I copy it to your repo so I’m fine with that. I’ll try to copy it in and create a PR for it later today. I still need to work on documenting things though.

@spencermountain I’ll make a pull request for compromise with the plugin.

• I still need to write some more docs, do you have a recommended documentation system?
• Match2 is a completely new match syntax, some of the older match syntaxes work but others are incompatible and would need to be converted to match2’s syntax.

(start|(maybe one|maybe two))

match2 supports this.
