   > we can check for asset URLs that are exactly the same, but it's literally impossible to prevent overlapping rules from existing, unless we're going to disallow regular expressions.
   
   yes, you are right @ocket8888 - overlapping rules will always be possible due to how regex works but "duplicate" rules (exact same regex) are the problematic ones. If there are multiple rules of the exact same regex in regex_revalidate.config, only one is respected, the rest are ignored.
