I find it mind-boggling that it is possible to construct a tree pattern
matcher (eg BURS) that is able to do the all the dynamic programming and
cost manipulation to get locally optimal code at automata-generation time.
All the papers I've looked at are very technical and void of explanatory
examples.


Thus I'm looking for references to papers (reports/theses) that can
explain this. Perhaps someone on the net would venture to explain it?
