Function createRegexFromPattern

createRegexFromPattern(pattern, ignoreCase?): RegExp
Builds a regular expression object from a simple string pattern.

A string pattern can use the following special characters:
- * to match any number of characters: "foo*" will match all strings starting with "foo"
- ? to match a single character: "foo?" will match all strings of 4 characters that start with "foo"
- \ to escape a special character: \* will be interpreted as *, and \ will be interpreted as \
This is a replacement function for ct/_string.stringPatternToRegExp.
Parameters
- pattern: string
  a simple string pattern conforming to the rules above
- ignoreCase: boolean = false
  whether the regular expression should be case insensitive (false by default)
Returns RegExp
A regular expression implementing the pattern
Example
```
import { createRegexFromPattern } from "apprt-core/string-pattern";
const regex = createRegexFromPattern("foo*");
const match = regex.test("foobar"); // true
```
