My last post covered the "scope" flags. The remaining JS flags at MDN <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp#Syntax>are: i s u y. i - That is already in Commander SNR. s - *Could be very useful *BUT at the moment Firefox and Edge *do not *support it. It is supported by Chrome, Safari & Opera. "s" enables the meta-character "." to match line endings. *Probably NOT a good idea to include it until FF JS supports it.* In any case, there is a simple workaround in regexp by using character class "[\s\S]". u - Unicode support so that the match pattern is interpreted as a sequence of Unicode code points I'm not clear how this would interact in TW. At the moment I think demand for it in TW is close to zero. Its advanced regex to use it. So *probably not needed*. y - Matches from the index indicated by the lastIndex property of the expression in the target. I think the use cases would be of very limited numbers. So *probably not needed*. So, overall, with 4 scope flags of my last post ("f", m, g, gm) and case insensitivity (i) I think it should be enough. My thoughts!
