Hello Philip,

for one project I would require the possibility to calculate the intersection
of two regular expressions.
The intersection should be a regular expression which matches only those items
which whould be matches by both source regular expressions.

For Example:
1: ^a\d+
2: \d+b$
Will become the intersection: ^a\d+b$

This topic has been often discussed in the internet and it seems to be possible
for the most regular expressions (some exceptions are those regular expressions
which use a type 2 grammatic such as recursive patterns).

How do you think about this feature?


Kind Regards
David Gausmann
