with a third variant that works without non-capturing groups and is compatible with POSIX regex (i.e. for use in bash). This originates from an issue I opened earlier, found here: #981
There is a small repo which contains the terse form of the regex along with a more human-readable one and a bash script that demonstrates and runs the regex against the set of test strings from regex101. I also went and created a snippet for this regex on regex101.
I only just noticed that there is a long-standing open PR which adds exactly the same regex (but with less explanation) to the FAQ.
