Oh right, that is a selection criteria already. So we should definitely
be a generator (and support an external filter) any time we don't have
\w or \W. And we can only be an amplifier when we have them. We need to
fix this.

Not quite: Some external modes support being generator OR filter. So the
criteria is \0 only: If there is a \0, regex is the filter/amplifier and
otherwise it must be the generator.
BTW are we still supporting latest librexgen or did the API change again?
