title: Javascript syntax identification
body: <p>Writing a regular expression, I found this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>JSON.stringify(e.model.ProcedureDate).replace(/\"/g, '');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Why does <code>/\"/g</code> work without being quoted?  It isn't a string, and from what I gather, javascript doesn't have literals...  What would you call the text passed to <code>.replace()</code>?</p>
