plain-English description of the following regexp:
0. `^` fix the match at the beginning of the string
1. `\/`: the `/` that begins the regexp
2. `([^\\[]|\\.|\[([^\\\]]|\\.)+\])*`: regexp contents; 0 or more of the following
  2.0. `[^\\[]`: any character that's not a `\` or a `[` (anything but escape sequences and character classes)
  2.1. `\\.`: an escape sequence
  2.2. `\[([^\\\]]|\\.)+\]`: a character class that isn't empty
3. `\/` the `/` that ends the regexp
4. `[gimy]*`: optional regexp flags
5. `$`: fix the match at the end of the string
