The following regexes are accepted while they shouldn't
On what basis are you claiming that they "shouldn't" be valid?
Anyway, this is probably duplicate of #765.

These patterns are invalid in other regex engines - does this qualify for a good enough reason? :)
I understand that each regex engine may have slightly different rules as there's no unique standard. Maybe it should be mentioned in the documentation that extra flags are ignored?
Anyway, thanks for your tremendous work!

No. Think about what that would mean if this were actually applied.

I don't think so. At least, not in the existing syntax docs. Those was brought up before in the linked issue (or another one), but this is a pathological case and there is nothing in the docs that suggests this pattern would be illegal. The only reason people seem to think it's weird is because other regex engineers reject it. But I see no reason to reject it. Again, I wrote out a full explanation in the linked issue. And suggested this is something that belongs in "differences with other regex engines" doc. There's an issue for that too.
