All of these should be building on top of RegExp.escape :P

The point of this last variant is that data gets escaped but RegExp objects do not -- allowing you to compose RegExps:   re`${re1}|${re2}*|${data}`
But this requires one more adjustment:

>         parts.push(template.raw[i]);
>         const subst = subs[i] instanceof RegExp ?

               `(?:${subs[i].source})` :
>             subs[i].replace(/[\/\\^$*+?.()|[\]{}]/g, '\\amp;');
>         parts.push(subst);
>       }
>       parts.push(template.raw[numSubs]);
>       return RegExp(parts.join(''), flags);
>     }
>     if (typeof first === 'string') {
>       return tag;
>     } else {
>       flags = void 0;  // Should this be '' ?
>       return tag(first, ...args);
>     }
>   }
