can you test with


local function s_uncover(splitter,cache,cover)
     if cover == "" then
         return nil
     else
         local uncovered = cache[cover]
         if not uncovered then
             uncovered = lpegmatch(splitter,cover)
             cache[cover] = uncovered
         end
         return { uncovered }
     end
end

btw, what are features like cv80 and cv81 supposed to represent?
