How would we go about adding a canned response to the commonly submitted
"max recursion limit exceeded" bug report?  I think Tim's discussion of re
design patterns to use in

    http://python.org/sf/493252

(or something like it) probably belongs in the re module docs since this is
such a common stumbling block for people used to using ".*?".  I'll work
something up for the Examples section and Jake's hockey game this morning.
