JS has the following syntax for RegExp literals:

const myRegExp = /ab+c/;

In ReScript, this would currently be expressed as

let myRegExp = %re("/ab+c/")

It would be nice if ReScript also had dedicated syntax for regexp literals, if possible identical to the JS version:

let myRegExp = /ab+c/

May I add regex support for extended x flag (currently Stage 3) with flexible whitespace and comments 🙏🏼
