Hi,

Is there any chance to get the regexp rewrite in bug 85721 in? There are 
a lot of bugs blocked by it. It isn't just a performance issue. Some 
regular expressions give wrong results, some crash, even quite simple 
expressions like /(?=a|b)|c/.test("") (bug 187133).

There's a patch lying around for months. It may cause some regressions 
(in fact I found a small one (see comment 81) but I doubt they will be 
worse than the current behavior without the patch.
