import { regex } from 'arktype';

const x = regex('^a{-1}$').infer; // Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.(2589)
// should be: const x: "a{-1}"
const y = regex('^a{1.5}$').infer; // Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.(2589)
// should be: const y: `a{1${string}5}`
