Kilimanjaro - how can we extend validation patterns

Hello! We use SuiteCommerce Advanced Kilimanjaro and I have a question regarding being able to extend the Backbone.Validation.patterns fields. Ultimately I would like to call a new pattern we're creating from within code as such; Backbone.Validation.patterns.customPattern.test(<string to test>).

In the third_parties directory there is the backbone-validation module that includes backbone-validation.js, which is where the base logic is for validation. In the suitecommerce/BackboneExtras module there's Backbone.Validation.patterns.js, which looks like it's an extension to the base .patterns object:

define('Backbone.Validation.patterns'
,	[	'Backbone'
	,	'underscore'
	,	'Backbone.Validation'
	]
,	function (
		Backbone
	,	_
	)
{
	'use strict';

	_.extend(Backbone.Validation.patterns,
	{
		// Same as email but is more restrictive and matches the same emails as the Netsuite backend UI
	    // Source: https://system.netsuite.com/javascript/NLUtil.jsp__NS_VER=2014.1.0&minver=154&locale=en_US.nlqs
	  //    (Search for NLValidationUtil_SIMPLE_EMAIL_PATTERN)
		email: /^[-a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~]+(?:\.[-a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~]+)*@(?:[a-z0-9]+(?:-+[a-z0-9]+)*\.)+(?:xn--[a-z0-9]+|[a-z]{2,16})$/i

		//This validation is less restrictive than standard and matches with the used in Netsuite backend
	,	netsuiteUrl: /^(https|http|ftp|file):\/\//

	,	netsuiteFloat: /^-{0,1}([0-9])+(\.{1}[0-9]+)?$/

	,	netsuiteInteger: /^-{0,1}([0-9])+$/
		//Allow numbers bettwen 000.00 and 000100.00 ending with optional %
	,	netsuitePercent: /^0*((([0-9]{1,2})(\.[0-9]{1,2})?%?$)|(100(\.0{1,2})?%?$))/

		//Allow any character 7 or more times (this is the validation that the netsuite backend form does on phone type fields)
	,	netsuitePhone: /^.{7,}$/

	});

	return Backbone.Validation.patterns;
});
