// Conformance fixture: regular expressions (the `regex` feature, on by default).

// --- test / exec ---
assert(/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}$/.test("2026-06-04"), "date shape");

// --- String.replace with captures ---

assertEq("aaa".replace(/a/g, "b"), "bbb");
assertEq("camelCase".replace(/([A-Z])/g, "_$1"), "camel_Case");

// --- split / search ---
