Why not provide the regex that matches the correct 8-char possibilities? In my opinion, this would be more useful IRL.

dericed commented 6 years ago

IRL, i suspect it would be useful for either non-standard lengths or specifically to limit the regex to local implementations (constraints to letter usage or patterns), but ya the example could communicate that more clearly

retokromer commented 6 years ago

As long as I know, my original regex with the addition of the mentioned «bastard» would cover all possibilities in the wild today.
