rust: simplify pattern file parsing...
rust: simplify pattern file parsing Previously we kept the pattern syntax as a &[u8] until the last possible moment, which meant we had to handle potential errors when parsing that &[u8]. But such errors could never actually occur, given the structure of the code. Now we parse it eagerly (in two places) and pass it around as a PatternSyntax, so we can delete some error handling code. parse_one_pattern is in particular useful for parsing patterns passed on the command line, as we'll support later in this series.

Build Status Code Coverage

This library provides encoding and decoding for the Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) (RFC 7049) serialization format.

There exists another Python CBOR implementation (cbor) which is faster on CPython due to its C extensions. On PyPy, cbor2 and cbor are almost identical in performance. The other implementation also lacks documentation and a comprehensive test suite, does not support most standard extension tags and is known to crash (segfault) when passed a cyclic structure (say, a list containing itself).
