[issue2636] Regexp 2.7 (modifications to current re 2.2.2)

[A.M. Kuchling]

A.M. Kuchling <lists at amk.ca> added the comment:

We have lengthy sets of tests in Lib/test/regex_tests.py and
Lib/test/test_re.py.

While widespread testing of a standalone module would certainly be good,
I doubt that will exercise many corner cases and the more esoteric
features.  Most actual code probably uses relatively few regex pattern
constructs.
