OK, http://www.python.org/sf/1022698 has the patch.  But  with Tim's 
metaclass solution I don't know how much people will care about this 
one.  =)

I guess the question becomes whether people will prefer to have to 
define a new class to override the regex or do it per instance (I 
suspect the former, although my code does the latter).

If Tim's solution is used I would like to suggest that we also allow for 
overloading the bogus group since that was the last thing in contention 
about the implementation (sans the whole unicode subclass deal).
