I think that this is ready. As an exercise, I had copilot turn the code into a spec, deleted the code, then had a new session implement it from scratch. It came up with something different, which still passed the tests. There's some differences between the old regex based one, but I think none that matter in practice. I'm fully prepared to delete the old implementation from this PR entirely, as I think it is net better, both in performance and in intentional design. |

This is a total redo of #1483.
After this PR, our use of
regexp/regexp2is limited to:UnquoteString(which is documented as being implemented incorrectly)semverparsingmodulespecifiersto handle auto-import regexes (probably not removable).I have also tried to make a concurrent version like what tsgolint patches in, but it's a net negative in the new code. Hopefully this means it's not needed? (EDIT: they confirmed so.)
