[issue22407] re.LOCALE is nonsensical for Unicode

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

I don't think we should fix this in 2.x: some people may rely on the old behaviour, and it will be difficult for them to debug.
In 3.x, I simply propose we deprecate re.LOCALE for unicode strings and make it a no-op.
