[New-bugs-announce] [issue28293] Don't completely dump the regex cache when full

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

When the regex cache gets filled, it is cleared in its entirety.  Instead, it only needs to evict one arbitrary entry.  This will save the us from having to rebuild and recache frequently used regexes.
