A specific data/property type for regular expressions or patterns would: - ensure that the stored regular expressions or patterns are syntactically correct, in a similar way that quantity-type properties ensure that their statements are not paragraphs, something from which all implementations, tools and reusers would benefit; - introduce a specific input (interface) control in Wikibase (not WikibaseQualityConstraints) that could make pattern editing more friendly: monospaced text, warnings, colored brackets, and all the amazing features that the developers want to implement. :-) This does not solve the low-level security issues of each implementation (e.g., avoid running the regular expression "'; DROP TABLE important_things;").
