NO_LEADING_BACKSLASH =

We don’t want to match strings that are “escaped” with a leading backslash.

"(?<!\\\\)"
NO_LEADING_ASTERISKS =

We don’t want to match strings that are directly touching double asterisks as these are treated as sacred by our program.

"(?<!\\*\\*)"
NO_TRAILING_ASTERISKS = 
"(?!\\*\\*)"
NO_LEADING_UNDERSCORES =

We don’t want to match strings that are directly touching underscores as these are treated as sacred by our program.

NO_TRAILING_UNDERSCORES = 
"(?!_)"
NO_LEADING_ALPHABETICALS =

We don’t want to match strings that are part of other words.

"(?<![A-z])"
NO_TRAILING_ALPHABETICALS = 
"(?![A-z])"
IGNORE_CASE =

We ignore case within the regex as opposed to globally to allow consumers of this API the ability to pass in strings that turn off this modifier with the “(?-i)” string.

"(?i)"
