Topic: datatype regexes missing String start/end

While implementing validity checks into on of our frontends i stumbled upon the data type regexes. Aren't there ^ and $ for string start and end missing?
e.g. the current decimal regex validates something like this: 121323,45asd (regexr.com/4fbf0)

with ^and$ it isn't valid anymore: regexr.com/4fbf6

nvm, i found this:
- The regexes should be qualified with start of string and end of string anchors based on the regex implementation used (e.g. caret '^' and dollar-sign '$' for JavaScript, POSIX, XML and XPath; '\A' and '\Z' for .NET, Java, Python and others; please verify these definitions with the regex implementation used).
on the datatype definition page.
