Why does this PR exist?
The Bulk Remap feature is incredibly useful, as it saves a ton of time and work when renaming multiple tokens.
By adding regex support to it, one can provide more precise patterns to the token search, allowing them to bulk remap tokens even faster.

Additional Notes (if any)
pattern
instead ofoldName
, this does not affect the current way of searching for a normal string, as normal strings are also valid regex.pattern
const, it checks to see if the string passed is already a regex with slashes, and if so,it strips the first and last slashes — if the slashes remained, then the matches wouldn't be the same anymore, as it would actually search for the slashes.it uses that regex pattern with the given flags, if any.
