    ///
    /// 1. You would like to optimize for the size of the automaton. This can
    ///    manifest in one of two ways. Firstly, if you're converting the
    ///    DFA into Rust code (or a table embedded in the code), then a minimal
    ///    DFA will translate into a corresponding reduction in code  size, and
    ///    thus, also the final compiled binary size. Secondly, if you are
    ///    building many DFAs and putting them on the heap, you'll be able to
    ///    fit more if they are smaller. Note though that building a minimal
    ///    DFA itself requires additional space; you only realize the space
    ///    savings once the minimal DFA is constructed (at which point, the
    ///    space used for minimization is freed).
    /// 2. You've observed that a smaller DFA results in faster match
    ///    performance. Naively, this isn't guaranteed since there is no
    ///    inherent difference between matching with a bigger-than-minimal
    ///    DFA and a minimal DFA. However, a smaller DFA may make use of your
    ///    CPU's cache more efficiently.
    /// 3. You are trying to establish an equivalence between regular
    ///    languages. The standard method for this is to build a minimal DFA
    ///    for each language and then compare them. If the DFAs are equivalent
    ///    (up to state renaming), then the languages are equivalent.

    /// `i`th state, its corresponding premultiplied identifier is `i * k`
    /// where `k` is the alphabet size of the DFA. (The alphabet size is at
    /// most 256, but is in practice smaller if byte classes is enabled.)

    /// set of bytes that does not discriminate between a match and a non-match
    /// in the DFA. For example, the pattern `[ab]+` has at least two
    /// equivalence classes: a set containing `a` and `b` and a set containing
    /// every byte except for `a` and `b`. `a` and `b` are in the same

    /// and a non-match.

    /// be reduced drastically from `#states * 256 * sizeof(id)` to

    /// classes. As a result, total space usage can decrease substantially.
    /// Moreover, since a smaller alphabet is used, compilation becomes faster
    /// as well.
    ///
    /// The disadvantage of this map is that every byte searched must be
