ok. thanks for the complexity lesson. can you give us a reference to this
result?

we have been trying to understand our implementation in light of this
information. it seems that ~ (overlapping concatention) which is the \
operator (glue) in forspec, causes exponential blow-up as well, thus giving
a double exponent after determinization. do you agree that overlapping
concatenation/glue causes a double exponential blow-up?

regards,

cindy.
