Description

Currently, the compiler and cljs.core allow for Java mode flags. Javascript doesn't support many of these, and supports one flag not supported by Java - 'g'.

ClojureScript regular expressions should support only Javascript regex mode flags: 'i', 'm', and 'g'. This applies to Regex literals in the compiler as well as (re-pattern).

This is a defect in the implementation of ~~CLJS-116~~.

The defect existed prior to ~~CLJS-116~~. The problem is that we're using the Clojure reader and g is not a valid flag for a Java RegexPattern.
