Should we be wrapping full rules in alarms (using M::SA::Timeout) to

To note, it's not just full rules. Any regular expression can be caught in
backtrack hell, though it's unlikely for header and uri, body and rawbody can
definitely have the problem too.
I forgot about rawbody. I didn't think (and may very well be mistaken)
that body would be worth the overhead -- people seem to do this most
often with full and rawbody rules.
