Yes, interesting idea.
But it would be the same as "don't care". Identical in fact.
Yes, you can easily define a patterns of any shape and any "don't care"
points.
Simply "hash in" the topology of the pattern. You can use an array of 19 x
19 keys and hash in a key when a point is relevant.


The reason I decided to use symmetric patterns is speed.
Speed is worth a lot.
I decided to use more patterns to achieve the same goal as having more
complex patterns and slower speed.
