"That is because the GS2 implementation of regex uses the backtracking algorithm which, while allowing for more expressive patterns, is not as efficient as other algorithms that construct a NFA to a DFA."
"wat??????? can u fix it"
"!@#$"

I seriously have not ever had a use for regex in my whole time scripting GS2 and I don't want any of these potential situations, so I'd prefer for it to not be implemented.
