We should add support for completions / templates for regex literals / strings. I can't count the number of times I have been crafting a regex and have to go look up what all of the available pattern parts are.

I would expect some form of assist for the following cases:

1. regex literals -> /<pattern>/
2. RegExp constructor -> new RegExp('<pattern>')
3. expanded inferencing if a var is assigned a literal that is used in new RegExp
  -> var pattern = '<pattern>'
     new RegExp(pattern)

We could start with proposals including the pattern parts mentioned in MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Regular_Expressions

It also might be nice if we expanded the JS hover to provide a way to run the regex in place to see the result rather than having to debug it.
