I believe that the u"" notation in Python 2.7 is defined by while
importing the unicode_litterals module.

Each regexp lib could provide its instanciation of regexp litteral
notation.

And if only the default one does, it would still be won for the
beginers, and the majority of persons using the stdlib.
