@MekahimeAkari @lifning "C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot; C++ makes it harder, but when you do it blows your whole leg off". -- Real Stroustrup quote, 1986

When a tool supports both regular expressions and literal strings, which should be the default? If you default to regex, users can match more strings than they realise (e.g. `foo.txt`) or less (e.g. `foo(bar)`). I typically see regex as the default, but I prefer the opposite.

A funny side effect of building software in Rust: my machine OOMs much more during development. I'm not entirely sure why. I think Rust makes it easy to allocate data quickly, and sooner or later you write an infinite loop when coding.
