**Note:** usage of capturing groups is not recommented in most scenarios as all the patterns get combined into a big regex, where each of the pattern is an alternative in a capturing group.
Then capturing groups are used for matching logic. So you want to use non-capturing groups (`(?:)`) or lookaheads/lookbehinds instead.

The regex syntax now supports backreferences and look around assertions.
