Rule: disable regular expression literal

Please describe what the rule should do:

Do not allow Regular Expression Literal.

What category of rule is this? (place an “X” next to just one item)

[X] Warns about a potential error (problem) [ ] Suggests an alternate way of doing something (suggestion) [ ] Enforces code style (layout) [ ] Other (please specify:)

Provide 2-3 code examples that this rule will warn about:

(new RegExp("a\bc")).test("a\bc")  // true
/a\bc/.test("a\bc")                // false

Why should this rule be included in ESLint (instead of a plugin)? Beacuse this is very important.

Are you willing to submit a pull request to implement this rule?

No.

@LuoZijun Example of usage no-restricted-syntax. I’ve not tested it yet so I’m not sure if it’s OK.

{
    "rules": {
        "no-restricted-syntax": ["error", "Literal[regex]"]
    }
}
