Terminology confusion: character set <=> character class #9

Closed ColinEberhardt closed 3 years ago

I've been using the MDN regex cheatsheet as a guide to regex syntax.

Within their cheatsheat they term [xyz] a character set - which is what as-regex currently uses. However, almost every other reference I can find terms this a character class.

I think as-regex should use the more conventional terminology.
