regexp or literal ordering

[rileyrg]

While I like the interface very much, I hadn't realised just how much I like orderless clauses eg "save hist " will match a line with "hist save". consult-line/helm-swoop and similar support this. Is this a goer?

It's a little tricky; see my comment at https://github.com/raxod502/ctrlf/issues/70#issuecomment-751502529. Not necessarily impossible, but the architecture of CTRLF is more similar to Isearch than it is to Swiper/consult-line/helm-swoop/etc. The out-of-order matching implies some first-class concept of what a "line" is, because you have to split the buffer into chunks at some point in order to decide over what size of region each of the clauses should be matched. So some thought is required as to a good way to do this.

Just a thumbs up for ctrlf though. I set my default to fuzzy-regexp and it meets my needs.. Its just cleaner than most and aborts/restarts in a more consistent manner. I like it a lot.
