A pure Go implementation of Lua pattern matching

go-luapatterns's Issues

Remove plain argument to Find and remove lmemstr

These can be done by the correct Go functions rather than implementing our own.

Is this project alive?

Compile patterns, make search/replace methods on pattern object

To create uniformity with the regexp package and to keep from parsing a commonly used pattern each time it's used, it would make a great deal of since to have a function that compiled patterns into some kind of struct that had Find/Replace/etc methods on it.

Remove boolean results from library functions

There is no need for the boolean results from the library functions, specifically Match, since it can just return the list of captures or nil. As for Find, I'm not sure what makes the most sense, but we can also do []int [][]byte and have the same behavior that avoids magic values.
