Implement returning multiple values in NFA and DFA simulations #17

Closed osa1 closed 2 years ago

osa1 commented 2 years ago

It would be easier to debug bugs like #16 if NFA and DFA simulations worked more like the implementation (generated code). Currently simulations only accept the whole input, so we can't test the NFA or DFA for the lexer in #16.

Secondly, we should return matched substrings in simulations. That way we can also test match_ behavior.
