Idly working on my Quamina state-machine-based pattern matcher. (https://github.com/timbray/quamina)

Hit a bug that smells like an infinite loop. Looked closer. Hmm, seems like my code traversing a dinky little 4-state automaton thinks it needs to consider 25,165,824 possible state transitions. Need more coffee.
