[Freeswitch-users] Interesting regex results and timing

[Podrigal, Aron]

Python uses its own SRE engine. But it is fully compatible with PCRE. Also
I tested it with node /Javascript and that produces the same result as in
python.

It seems like the library does some internal optimization and for the
misleading false is because of its detection of catastrophic backtracking.
And yes, that's great!
