Bug 30517 loosens the regular expression used in the edit functionality of the
circulation rules matrix in an attempt to make translations work.. However it
has caused a regression for the case where a library may have similarly named
patron categories (and likely also for item types).

Our partner has the following valid patron categories:

"Staff", "Staff (ISA)", "Staff (temporary)" and "Staff (zero entitlements)"

With the regular expression change introduced in bug 30517, the first three
categories all get reduced to just `staff` and as such you can no longer edit
rules that contain those categories.

We really shouldn't be relying on a regular expression here at all.. we should
be able to pass in the codes rather than descriptions and utilise those for
matching against.
