### ES2018 ###
|
||||
|
||||
ES2018 added some nice regex improvements to the language.
|
||||
|
||||
- [Unicode property escapes] should allow telling names and invalid non-ASCII
|
||||
characters apart without blowing up the regex size.
|
||||
- [Lookbehind assertions] should allow matching telling division and regex
|
||||
literals apart in more cases.
|
||||
- [Named capture groups] might simplify some things.
|
||||
|
||||
These things would be nice to do, but are not critical. They probably have to
|
||||
wait until the oldest maintained Node.js LTS release supports those features.
