Your use case would be of interest to me:)
You could encode it as
\d\{-1\}\|\d\{3} .... [X]
It is more verbose. So it depends on how often you use it.
\d\d\%(\d\d)\? can be used to match years. But its limited and less nice
than \d\{2,4}. I agree.
I had much success with writing helper functions such as
MyHelper(regex, [1,3,20]) which does what I showed at {X] above.
Your feature may be useful. But if you want others to use your code you
have to be backward compatible for a while which means using a
workaround in any way.
