Actually String class itself already got an instance method which checks whether the string matches a given regex. matches(regex) : boolean
Just that for the case where it involves characters with diacritics (like é, à), we have to use the CANON_EQ flag to enable canonical equivalence checking as below: Pattern.compile(regex, Pattern.CANON_EQ).matcher(value).matches();
So we are going to create a higher level method to execute the above combined statements?

something like this: isMatching(regex, string): boolean
This can be used for testing regex correctness.
Can be in string helper?
