Set RegEx flavor using URL query string/parameter #2090

Feature

It would be wonderful if the RegEx flavor could be specified in the URL using a query string.

For example, going to the URL https://regex101.com/?flavor=ecmascript would load regex101 with the "ECMAScript (javascript)" flavor already chosen and ready to go.

There's no option for what my original request was — to specify the flavor of RegEx.

The link doesn't mention flavor at all. This used to work, why was it removed?

Edit: Actually, it does work, there just seem to be some overly aggressive caching going on.
