Problem/Motivation

Consider

label:
  type: string
  label: 'Optional label'
  translatable: true
  constraints:
    Regex:
      # Forbid any kind of control character.
      # @see https://stackoverflow.com/a/66587087
      pattern: '/([^\PC])/u'
      match: false
      message: 'Labels are not allowed to span multiple lines or contain control characters.'

But

# String containing plural variants, separated by EXT.
plural_label:
  type: label
  label: 'Plural variants'

And then in views...

    format_plural_string:
      type: plural_label
      label: 'Plural variants'
      constraints:
        Regex:
          # Normally, labels cannot contain invisible control characters. In this particular
          # case, an invisible character (ASCII 3, 0x03) is used to encode translation
          # information, so carve out an exception for that only.
          # @see \Drupal\views\Plugin\views\field\NumericField
          pattern: '/([^\PC\x03])/u'
          match: false
          message: 'Labels are not allowed to span multiple lines or contain control characters.'
