            Bug ID: 150714
           Summary: Remove useless RegExp.multiline and RegExp['$*']
                    static properties
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore

The RegExp constructor has two magic static properties, named "multiline" and "$*", that don't seem to have any observable effect.

They exist on V8 also, with no observable effect as well, see:  https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=3870

They do have an effect in SpiderMonkey, but it is expected to remove them: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1219757
