This looks interesting, but it seems like current selector abilities
can handle such case quite easily:
// collect all "input" elements within a form with id "myForm" that
are of type "checkbox" and whose name attribute value begins with
"selectedLine" : )
$$('#myForm input[type=checkbox][name^=selectedLine]');
Enumerable methods can do this as well:
myForm.getInputs('checkbox').findAll(function(el) {
return /selectedLine\[\d+\]\[\d+\]/.test(el.name);
})
As far as checking whether argument is a regexp - why not just do:
object.constructor == RegExp
