Where have you been when it was introduced? :)
It slipped by me. What can I say? I'm not the only committer :-)
But after spending non-trivial time suffering as auto-decode blasted my
kingdom, I've concluded that it needs to die.
Working around it is not
easy.
That seems to be the biggest problem, it's an overriding default that is
very hard to "turn off" and retain nice and clear generic view of stuff.
I know that auto-decode has negatively impacted your regex, too.
No, technically, I knew what I was doing and that decode call was
explicit. It's just turned out to set a bar on a minimum time budget to
do X with a string, and it's too high.
What really got nasty is multiple re-decoding of the same piece as
engine backtracks to try earlier alternatives.
