Nice. For dotnet/perf-autofiling-issues#29823 it seems there was an earlier regression that this unrelated improvement has canceled. Did we track that regression? Perhaps it was by design - I remember some regression due to correctness. |

While improving something is always nice, I don't think this PR could have improved those tests. Many of them don't use regex, and the ones that do, the pattern they use shouldn't have been impacted by this change. |
