Well to be fair, if they are having that problem they can come up with a solution they don't have to use my library and even with 4 that would still an issue.

The thing is your library isn't going to show performance issues until it is used in a game that already has tons of objects. There is a limit to how many can exist at runtime (Although very high). If they are pushing over half that limit and add maptext to 1/8th of the atoms, they are screwed.

It's really just me coming from a minimalist point of view.

the objects are only created once so that would be a hassle, and probably worse, I'm just gonna leave it as is and if there are any performance issues that I have yet to encounter I will change it.

Perhaps you could compile a list of problem characters and do a findtext() to see if they are in the string. No need to create new objects if you don't need to.

I thought I would only need 4 to begin with then discovered the . and ! problem and had to change it.
