Description pancake 2012-05-29 11:34:32 UTC 
Expressions like 1<a<10 or /bla$/ are no longer experiment. they are there for more than a year and nobody reported any issue with them, so i think we should remove that "exprimental" warning when using those expressions.

Is anyone still alive?

    Mark regular expression literals as stable
    
    Fixes part of bug 677022.
Comment 4 Luca Bruno 2014-06-30 20:16:56 UTC 
Ok for regex, not for chained expressions. They have an hackish implementation in the codegen.
Comment 5 Jürg Billeter 2014-06-30 20:29:30 UTC 
Are you aware of any actual issues or is it just not a very clean implementation?
Comment 6 Luca Bruno 2014-06-30 20:32:01 UTC 
I'm sure it's broken for complex expressions. The implementation uses the old codegen approach. Will find a test case.

Comment 10 Daniel Espinosa 2017-03-09 15:17:17 UTC 
Are you planning to close this bug as fixed?
Comment 11 Daniel Espinosa 2017-03-09 15:19:12 UTC 
May is a good idea to backport to 0.34.
