Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It feels a tad strange to run a pyWhat command and get no output at all until it's complete. With a really large file, pyWhat can understandably take a long time; it's hard to tell if it's crashed or just working silently.

Describe the solution you'd like
Ideally, progress bars would be awesome. But not too complex; counting each individual regex as a full "unit" would work fine. By this I mean, with 100 regexes to run on a file, one regex = 1%. This translates to multiple files too if a second progress bar was used - with 8 files, 1 file is worth 12.5%.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe pyWhat could output each regex as it completes it along with an initial summary of what it's going to do.
For example:

Starting pyWhat...
Regexes: 150

A little update on this issue😅.
I suggest making identify method a generator. This way a user can call it and get an instant match. The problem is that sorting code may need changes. The same applies to printing. I am not sure about displaying status, maybe we should convert the position of the first character in a match to the percentage (compare it with the total length of input).
