One bit that I found odd between Web Browser and NodeJS is the \\.|-|[a-zA-Z]+ expression with pre1.15.4-2.Beta produces different results, but only when fed from HTML elements, eg...
NodeJS
toChunks('p1.15.4-2.Beta', '\\.|-|[a-zA-Z]+');
//> ['p', '1', '.', '15', '.', '4', '-', '2', '.', 'Beta']Web Browser
toChunks('p1.15.4-2.Beta', '\\.|-|[a-zA-Z]+');
//> ['p', '1.15', '-', '2.', 'Beta']Note, this only happens via input from HTML text elements, not from the JavaScript console.
... But adjusting the expression to \.|-|[a-zA-Z]+ within the HTML input element seems to function consistently.
