The simpler matcher also seems to cut the overhead at runtime down significantly. I'll need to re-run it again, but --enable-profile shows its under ~3 seconds now. I'm a little concerned that file still takes a couple minutes to finish reporting under C++20 and only 8 seconds under C++17, so it could be that I held something wrong in my last evaluation.
