Working on optimizing the wikitext parser even further. Seem to have reached some state where it is possible to observe some patterns but I cannot find the right combinator to make them go away. I end up with functions that freeze for some reason (infinite recursion?) or ambiguities about which parse rules are defined when (I tried putting them into a key-val structure so they'd all exist "simultaneously" but this reduced performance by about 10-100x (!!)).

Meetings: usual features team meeting, 1:1 with Alolita

pdhanda assigned a 1.17 bug to me, #27090, since it has to do with uploading. Confirmed it was "real" at least on prototype.

Not sleeping well. Feeling sick. May go home a bit early (4:30pm.) I was up at like 7:00am fiddling with the parsing library anyway.
