Comment 2 for bug 1296880

Yes I use two such tools like that, on A HO with Tyler yesterday we
concluded that all the external tools did pass the regex, but LAVA did not,
that is the case presented here.
In addition I think Tyler implied that such a regex tester is not the
complete LAVA story, and that other validation of the result could be
combined in a LAVA specific tool.
