New submission from Julien Palard <julien+python at palard.fr>:
In howto/regex.rst I read:
> '^' outside a character class will simply match the '^' character.
Which looks wrong, '^' is the "begin anchor", it's a metacharacter that typically won't match '^'.
I propose to simply remove the statement, if nobody finds a better idea.
