[issue31856] Unexpected behavior of re module when VERBOSE flag is set

I had been under the impression that "escaped" in this context meant that an escape character (the backslash) was part of the string value for the regular expression (there's a little bit of overloading going on with that word). Thanks for setting me straight.
