/**
* Updates the cache of saved regular expression substring matches.
*
* ## Notes
*
* -   In certain JavaScript engines (e.g., V8, SpiderMonkey), the global `RegExp` object has ([non-standard][1]) static, read-only properties (`$1`, `$2`, ..., `$9`) with cached substring matches.
*
* [1]: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/RegExp/n
*
* @private
* @param {StringArray} cache - list of previously saved substring matches
* @returns {StringArray} cache
