I'd *prefer* real-world but will accept synthesized.

Overall though, if you add failure and success cases it will help avoid issues
where things get forgotten because according to Alex, this bug was caused by an
update that overrode an older bug.

Test cases would have solved that issue and they would prove the regexs work as
intended both for success and failure.
