These tests are ostensibly designed to validate parsing of Regular
Expression literals--specifically those which use Unicode escape
sequences to declare flags. However, because the syntax is expressed in
terms of a string literal and then evaluated dynamically, the escape
sequences in use have no bearing on the program code which is ultimately
parsed. These tests therefore do not extend coverage in any meaningful
way and may be removed.
The tests for the parsing of literal values were expressed using eval.
This made the tests more complex than necessary and also prevented the
tests from providing value to ECMAScript parsers.
Remove the use of eval and instead express the expectations with literal
source text. Rename the files to make each test's purpose more clear.
The production under test is also used in the following file:
test/language/literals/numeric/legacy-octal-integer-strict.js
That test expresses the syntax with literal source text, making it
useful for parsers. Remove this test in favor of the other.
Per https://tc39.github.io/ecma402/#sec-canonicalizelanguagetag
6.2.3 CanonicalizeLanguageTag ( locale )
The CanonicalizeLanguageTag abstract operation returns the canonical and case-regularized form of the locale argument (which must be a String value that is a structurally valid Unicode BCP 47 Locale Identifier as verified by the IsStructurallyValidLanguageTag abstract operation). A conforming implementation shall take the steps specified in the “BCP 47 Language Tag to Unicode BCP 47 Locale Identifier” algorithm, from Unicode Technical Standard #35 LDML § 3.3.1 BCP 47 Language Tag Conversion.

2. If the BCP 47 primary language subtag matches the type attribute of a languageAlias element in Supplemental Data, replace the language subtag with the replacement value.
If there are additional subtags in the replacement value, add them to the result, but only if there is no corresponding subtag already in the tag.
