Details
String.prototype.matchall
is available in Node v12+. It should be safe to remove this polyfill.Technically this is a breaking change, but historically we have not made any guarantees about Node compatibility, nor do we test in any version of Node other than the latest LTS. I suspect Node v10 is already broken anyway, and in any case, nobody should be using it.
This does not merit a major version bump IMO.
