Test pathological regexes

[g3rv4]

Regexes that are bad bad bad probably break the system. Get some from @Mariano-SOes and test them!

yeah, sorry... I edited the comment but the email had already triggered... I imagine using GitHub with a cool handle has its disadvantages ;)

Ckecklist:

• analize code
• Option Compiled?
• Explicit Capture
• Default to IgnoreCase and Singleline?
  Meaning a user should use (?-i) or (?-s) to turn it off
• Limit?
• Check culture info for \w & friends in Russian and Japanese
• Identify problematic strings in db
• Tests
  • Syntax errors
  • Unicode properties
  • Catastrophic backtracking
  • Stack overflow / too many named groups
  • Evil variable length lookbehings
  • Regex-fu with balancing groups and conditionals

I don't think we'll ever do this. Closing it to avoid noise on the list of issues.

Also, Mariano: hi! <3
