Because it’s removing a feature for, to me, marginal to no benefit. How much
slower is simple_search than boyer_moore on representative data with modern
hardware?
I’ve just remembered that we keep around information on whether the buffer
is entirely ASCII or not; which should make it possible to avoid searching
for non-ASCII in buffers that are entirely ASCII, including when non-ASCII
characters have case variants that are ASCII. And that would make folding
accents much more bearable for exclusively-ASCII users, too.
