It might be possible to create and spawn a temporary web worker from a datauri, execute the regex within and then terminate it on timeout.

(Not really interested in implementing this, but it may be a nice exercise for someone 馃槈)

Yeah, that could work. There are ways to make a web worker block the main process by using a shared array buffer.

Yeah, I guess the main challenge will not be to spawn the worker, but keep it all in synchronous code, so that the same API can be provided.
