           Summary: alternative spell lookup routine
           Product: Sorcery
           Version: Untargetted future release
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: codexroutines
        AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org

Currently spell lookup is with grep over a spell index.

It seems possible to do spell lookups with glob matching instead. Im 
attaching a
patch that demonstrates this. Depending on the platform the performance may 
vary
more than the indexed lookup probably would. I consider this experimental.

For me it seems to work in normal usage. I tried some unit tests and couldn't
make it fail. I didnt exhaustively test for conformance with the indexed
version. I did make a pass through the code for any checks done during cache
creation.

However I noticed a difference in behavior when a spellname appears in two
different sections in the same grimoire. e.g.

/var/lib/sorcery/codex/stable/section1/dupe
/var/lib/sorcery/codex/stable/section2/dupe

With the indexed version the first occurence wins. With the new globbing
approach neither of them does, the lookup fails for the grimoire entirely.
