I want to rename my handle to FireGhost, which was occupied by this 4-year-inactive guy (link).

As far as I know from this post (link), I can request a handle of an inactive participant. Sorry for pinging you, MikeMirzayanov, but can you please take a look at my request? Thank you so much!

 Sparky_Master_WCH1226 would be really disappointed when he put a lot of efforts into shitposting but still lost his last place in one night

Recently, I've learned a powerful data structure: Suffix Automaton, and found out that it can solve lots of problems that can be solved with KMP/Z Function/Hash/... in average time complexity $$$O(n)$$$.

Now I'm curious to know, what are the pros/cons of this data structure? And is there any problems that can't be solved with Suffix Automaton but able to solve with others data structure? Thank you in advance!

(for people who doesn't know this data structure: Link 1, Link 2)
