footnote: 'sre' handles both ordinary strings and unicode
strings.

the reason we're shipping it separately at this time is that's
still very rough -- but if your regular expressions happen to
work under 'sre', you can feed it ordinary strings or unicode
strings.  it's figures the rest out all by itself.

for more information on the current status of 'sre', see the
'sre' homepage:
