What does "intrinsic regex" mean?

  Sorry. I should have written "regex intrinsics". Meaning native to the language, vs implemented as a library. Just like Perl's syntax for regex.

    So like the /^regex(.*)syntax$/g that we have in vanilla JS? (I agree with your overall point BTW.)

      Yup. I just checked; the MDN docs refer to them as "regular expression literals".
