Assertions within alternations are not supported about assemblyscript-regex HOT 2 OPEN

Awesome, thanks a lot for this feedbacks! I'll try to give it a shot ASAP, not sure exactly when though (hopefully in the next few months).
And definitely +1 to throwing if not supported :-)

Thanks for raising this. The problem is that the library currently doesn't support start or end of string assertions within alternations.

see the spec test here: https://github.com/ColinEberhardt/assemblyscript-regex/blob/main/assembly/__spec_tests__/generated.spec.ts#L2205

The current implementation assumes that these occur at the start or end of the regex string: https://github.com/ColinEberhardt/assemblyscript-regex/blob/main/assembly/regexp.ts#L126-L132

Happy to give it a shot, if you have any hint where to start looking it would probably save me a lot of time :-)

That would be great! The assertion logic is applied in this function: https://github.com/ColinEberhardt/assemblyscript-regex/blob/main/assembly/regexp.ts#L153-L222

As an aside, it would probably be useful for this library to throw an error if you use a regex that has features that are not supported yet.
