The undefined here is unnecessary, it can be left out just like on the left hand
side. Right?

[hub, 2018/02/22 14:07:50]

eslint complains. "no sparse array", so I have to have something.

[Manish Jethani, 2018/02/22 15:21:55]

OK, if you feel like, you can change it to:

  let match = regexpRegexp.exec(text);
  let [pattern, flags] = match ? match.slice(1) : [textToRegExp(text)];

But I'll also file an issue for changing the ESList config to allow this
pattern.
