Twitter precompiled regular expressions

npm Travis install size

Some regular expressions extracted from twitter-text package and optimized with regexp-tree.

The reason I create this package is the twitter-text original package size (about 2Mb) and amount of work compiler and processor needs to do just to use it (all regexps are compiling at runtime). Here in my package you have compiled regexps and you can use only regexp you need, not just a full package.

Current used twitter-text package version is 3.1.0.
