— Even if the regex source strings are TOTALLY different
myRegex1.source === myRegex2.source only tells you if the strings are equivalent, not what they can understand
— Right!
— Without any input or test data
— You would need infinite test data
— Hmm, I don't think it's precise
— Or 65535*65535 fuzz strings, if not more
— I believe it's in the billions to get a 100% accurate result
— You would need to fuzz them with ALL possible strings in existence
— So instead of doing that... convert to graph, traverse the graph, do very basic comparison on 2 numbers per-node
— Or you can do like my boss, try a function with 2/3 inputs, if it works then it's ok!
— For a range, you check if your range for regex 1 is within or equal to the range of regex 2 for that specific node
