As long as we prohibit matching groups within lookbehind assertions, I think the approach you prefer is a strict superset of what's proposed. So there's no opportunity cost to taking the proposal as-is: the .NET semantics could be compatibly added later. I imagine TC39 gives some preference to proposals that exist in a concrete form. So if you prefer the .NET approach enough to do anything about it, now's a great time to write some spec text. > That said, I think there are easier missing features to be added, that are > supported by most other RegExp flavours.

Why not submit proposals for these? -j _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
