there are, I am, and it's not (sorry). some languages have the ability to comment regexes, and that would be very useful here.

- staunton 3y agoIt has lots of comments inside the regexes. How would this better comment support look like?
- sundarurfriend 3y agoThese are not technically "comments inside the regexes", that would be something like the "Delete (most) C comments." regex here: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre#/x-and-/xx https://perldoc.perl.org/perlre#/x-and-/xx Here, instead, they've used string juxtaposition cleverly to write comments between parts of the regex/string. It effectively serves the same purpose though.
