Most regex engines are backtracking (RE2 being a notable counterexample), which means that a regular expression with high-cardinality alternation (ie.

Removing the co-pilot from that alternation would significantly increase the workload of the pilot.

This is just a slight alternation of the extant model not an alternative.

Natural languages take care of ensuring a good alternation between consonants and vowels.

Apart from that I have to say that I personally like this alternation and resting.

Matching is basically a recursive visit over the threaded parse tree nodes, with some creative threading links, such as in series for concatenation, in parallel for alternation, and in cycles for closures.

The "A Regular Expression Matcher" in Beautiful Code is a command-line wildcard matcher (from memory), and lacks parentheses and alternation.

A really simple version would just compile each alternation into its own DFA separately, and then chain them together with "try each in sequence".

But when we need to match numbers with possible "+"es (the alternation operator) in front of them, out come the quotes.

For Minuum, "maximizing alternation" is not a priori obviously the same as "maximizing the information theory distinction " between two subsequent keypresses.
