nice, it'll be much less complex build wise..

but seemed like it does not support some of the gitlab regex specs

ie.

Yeah, I'll dig a bit, but will close the PR if it doesn't support the correct syntax.
Then I'll tryout https://github.com/google/re2-wasm

I realize the syntax are actually supported, but looks like we'll need to do some refactoring ...

The re2-wasm does look better, since

• it'll be a drop-in replacement for our current logic
• more performant
• gcl is not running in a browser environment

only concern is that the project looks like it's in archived state
