Finally, i decided that the idea is ripe to be tested by the public.
Lets see if that tool is useful.

At the moment there is not much more source code than the remainders of a
python proof-of-concept and the growing c++ code of the future rag pattern replacer.
There is not even a command line pattern replacer yet, only a set of boost-unit-tests implementing happy path tests of the growing set of basic features.
The C++ code is mostly packed into big headers with mostly inline code and only cpp-files if needed.... read more
