hacky but easy to solve reusing once a RegExp
var i = [1,2,3].some(function(v, i){
return v === 2 && this.test(i);
}, /\d+/) && RegExp['$&'];
alert(i); // 1
no extra loop, no global anything, just an extra object needed, the RegExp,
actually something you could create once in your closure and recycle every
time you need.
