It's a cool idea. If going for the first alternative, would this be fine
for john.conf?
# A user defined character class is named with a
# single digit, ie. 0..9
[UserClasses]
0 = áóúéíý
1 = €£$€¥
7 = [0-9a-fA-F]
[List.Rules.Example]
%4?7Ap"[\\0]x"
Naturally, ?7 would match any of 0123456789abcdefABCDEF. The brackets
are not really needed for parsing but it may be more logical to the user
if it's close to the rules pp syntax.
Should the rules engine 'die' if an undefined class is used? I think so.
I'm not sure that example rule would do exactly what I intended, lol
