I wonder if the discussion about lookbehinds[1] and Marc Harter's proposal for them[2] in the past led to anything. I'd really like to see these implemented in ECMAScript specification and it seems I am not the only one.[3][4][5] This even caused people to try to mimic them.[6] So I wanted to pick up the discussion again and ask, what info was missing that they didn't get specified?
