Summary: \u escapes don't work inside ranges

Initial Comment:
the pattern "[\u0000-\uffff]" should match any
unicode character.  for some reason, it doesn't
seem to do that...

I meant r"[\u0000-\uffff]"

and on second thought, I'm not sure it's a bug: SRE doesn't
seem to support \u and \U escapes at all.  and the pattern
u"[\u0000-\uffff]" works as expected.

I'll change this to a feature request.
