Description
Note that for global regexes,
RegExp.prototype[Symbol.replace]()first sets the regex'slastIndexto 0, so matching always starts from the beginning of the string regardless of the regex's previouslastIndex.Per ECMA-262
RegExp.prototype [ @@replace ], step 6: if global is true, performSet(rx, "lastIndex", +0𝔽, true).Related issues and pull requests
