Regex transforms (unicode, dotall, named-capturing-groups) probably should be implemented together. They are implemented using a shared createRegExpFeaturePlugin helper in babel:

• https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-plugin-transform-unicode-regex/src/index.ts
• https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-plugin-transform-dotall-regex/src/index.ts
• https://github.com/babel/babel/blob/main/packages/babel-plugin-transform-named-capturing-groups-regex/src/index.ts
