+### ExtRegExp extends RegExp
+A subclass of `RegExp` that supports custom flag transformers in addition to the standard vanilla regex flags (g, i, m, s, u, y). When constructed, custom flags are extracted, their corresponding transformers are applied to the pattern and vanilla flags, and the resulting transformed `RegExp` is created. The `flags` getter returns both the vanilla flags and any custom flags.

+#### Constructor
+```typescript
+constructor(pattern: string | RegExp, flags?: string)

+- `pattern` (`string | RegExp`): The regex pattern. If a `RegExp` is provided, its `source` is used and its existing `flags` are tracked as already-applied flags to avoid re-applying transformers.
+- `flags` (`string`, optional): The flags string, which may include both vanilla regex flags and custom registered flag keys. Validated via `assertValidRegexFlags`. Defaults to `''`.
