http://www.javascriptoo.com/verbalexpressions - a JavaScript library that helps to construct hard regular expressions. This ends up being a good way to start a structured RegEx but ultimately they need cleaned up depending on your goals. https://regex101.com and http://regexr.com are good testers. Things like `Range` are good but I haven't found a way to add a `+` next to it for matches beyond a single character.
