Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::BodyRuleBaseExtractor - extract "bases" from body ruleset

=head1 SYNOPSIS

This is a plugin to extract "base" strings from SpamAssassin 'body' rules,
suitable for use in Rule2XSBody rules or other parallel matching algorithms.

# TODO: it would be nice to have a clean API to pass such settings
# through to plugins instead of hanging them off $main

  # NOTE: re2c will attempt to provide the longest pattern that matched; e.g.
  # ("food" =~ "foo" / "food") will return "food".  So therefore if a pattern
  # subsumes other patterns, we need to return hits for all of them.  We also
  # need to take care of the case where multiple regexps wind up sharing the
  # same base.   
  #
  # Another gotcha, an exception to the subsumption rule; if one pattern isn't
  # entirely subsumed (e.g. "food" =~ "foo" / "ood"), then they will be
  # returned as two hits, correctly.  So we only have to be smart about the
  # full-subsumption case; overlapping is taken care of for us, by re2c.
  #
  # TODO: there's a bug here.  Since the code in extract_hints() has been
  # modified to support more complex regexps, we can no longer simply assume
  # that if pattern A is not contained in pattern B, that means that pattern B
  # doesn't subsume it.  Consider, for example, A="foo*bar" and
  # B="morefobarry"; A is indeed subsumed by B, but we won't be able to test
  # that without running the A RE match itself somehow against B.
  # same issue remains with:
  #
  #   "foo?bar" / "fobar"
  #   "fo(?:o|oo|)bar" / "fobar"
  #   "fo(?:o|oo)?bar" / "fobar"
  #   "fo(?:o*|baz)bar" / "fobar"
  #   "(?:fo(?:o*|baz)bar|blargh)" / "fobar"
  #
  # it's worse with this:
  #
  #   "fo(?:o|oo|)bar" / "foo*bar"
  #
  # basically, this is impossible to compute without reimplementing most of
  # re2c, and it appears the re2c developers don't plan to offer this:
