@Tommi2Day Thanks for sharing this.

Does that IDE offer an option to automatically fix the regex patterns or an alternative?

[Tommi2Day]

partially yes. You can go through the positions complained and add "suggested Action"

[Tommi2Day]

this is a version with all suggestions adopted. Unit test ran sucessfully

digitOrInfinity := regexp.MustCompile([\d~])
optionalInvertAndRange := regexp.MustCompile(^@?([-+]?[\d.]+(?:e[-+]?[\d.]+)?|~)?(:([-+]?[\d.]+(?:e[-+]?[\d.]+)?)?)?$)
firstHalfOfRange := regexp.MustCompile(^([-+]?[\d.]+(?:e[-+]?[\d.]+)?)?:)
endOfRange := regexp.MustCompile(^[-+]?[\d.]+(?:e[-+]?[\d.]+)?$)

@Tommi2Day Thanks for sharing. That linting feature looks like it would really come in handy.
