[Bug 11011] Since Javascript does not support mode specifiers inside the regular expression, there is no simple way of matching a single word case-insensitively besides turning into [Ww][Oo][Rr][Dd]

So the proposed solution is to expand the JS regexp syntax to allow
case-sensitivity control without the use of flags?

Do we even know if this is something that TC39 is working on? Is anyone here
prepared to bring forward such a proposal to them?

Just want to make sure that we're not relying on a purely theoretical feature.
