+Optimization strategies:
+1. Nested Quantifier Flattening: (a+)+ → a+
+2. Alternation Simplification: (a|a)+ → a+
+3. Possessive Quantifier Simulation: a++ equivalent
+4. Atomic Group Insertion (where applicable)
+5. Anchor Addition: Reduce backtracking scope
+6. Character Class Optimization: [a-zA-Z] → \\w (when appropriate)
+
