Linking #34863; I made a typo because const pattern = /(?:var|let|const) (?i:foo|bar)\b/i; should be const pattern = /(?:var|let|const) (?i:foo|bar)\b/;, but I was too lazy to follow up for a fix, so that could be part of this work.

This is currently not working in Firefox Beta 130 but is working in Firefox Nightly 131.0a1 (2024-08-28)

So possibly rolling over to 131 133 release.

Currently working in Firefox Nightly 131.0a1 (2024-08-28) behind the flag javascript.options.experimental.regexp_modifiers
