描述

**Description of the false positive**

You can polyfill atomic groups in JS by using the `/(?=(...))\1//` pattern, but LGTM doesn't seem to understand it and reports a false positive [here](https://lgtm.com/projects/g/compose-regexp/compose-regexp.js/snapshot/e31d432f942019263401085e38558c5661dc7460/files/commonjs/compose-regexp.js?sort=name&dir=ASC&mode=heatmap#xdcee8d483c053100:1).

Here's the culprit:

```JS
var oneEscapeOrCharClassMatcher = /^(?:\\.|\[(?=((?:\\.|.)*?))\1\])$/;
```

There are other similar cases in the project, it is a RegExp composition lib that provides an `atomic(x)` helper that wraps `x` accordingly (and uses such RegExps internally).

Still, to my amusement (and slight consternation), LGTM caught an polynomial ReDOS in my lib... Thanks for the project.
