This work pulls in v8 support for these features with
appropriate changes for Dart and closes
https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/34935.
This adds support for the following features:
* Interpreting patterns as Unicode patterns instead of
BMP patterns
* the dotAll flag (`/s`) for changing the behavior
of '.' to also match line terminators
* Escapes for character classes described by Unicode
property groups (e.g., \p{Greek} to match all Greek
characters, or \P{Greek} for all non-Greek characters).
The following TC39 proposals describe some of the added features:
* https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-dotall-flag
* https://github.com/tc39/proposal-regexp-unicode-property-escapes
These additional changes are included:
* Extends named capture group names to include the full
range of identifier characters supported by ECMAScript,
not just ASCII.
* Changing the RegExp interface to return RegExpMatch
objects, not Match objects, so that downcasting is
not necessary to use named capture groups from Dart
**Note**: The changes to the RegExp interface are a
breaking change for implementers of the RegExp interface.
Current users of the RegExp interface (i.e., code using Dart
RegExp objects) will not be affected.
