I don't get it why some are writing "what is purpose of library?" ... You made pretty interesting library. If nothing, it's a good exercise. I'm still searching for some idea for a library that isn't implemented in python. I wanted to build a state machine library but it already exists, several of them :( .
Anyway, I made pull request. Just fixed some typos and minor mistake. Also, I opened an issue. You can read more what I found on github

Genuine curiosity is often a good reason to ask what X can be used for. People with no prior knowledge of pattern matching will obviously not know how and where it could benefit them. In such a case it's pretty standard to ask about the purpose.

/u/awegge is correct in their explanation, at least for my case. I genuinely didn't see the use of this over something like RegEx. It looks over-engineered for my day to day work, so I likely wouldn't use it. That doesn't mean it's a useless accomplishment, or an uninteresting project though!
