The regex-shorthand rule has a false-negative

[sindresorhus]

This doesn't cause a lint error:

const foo = /^by @([a-zA-Z0-9-]+)/

Even though it could be:

const foo = /^by @([a-zA-Z\d-]+)/

I think we might need to use some more advanced detection. Maybe regexp-tree. Although, it has an optimizer API already, which I think already handles this and many other cases.
