[issue2636] Regexp 2.7 (modifications to current re 2.2.2)

[Mark Summerfield]

Mark Summerfield <mark at qtrac.eu> added the comment:

If you do:

>>> import regex as re
>>> dir(re)

you get over 160 items, many of which begin with an underscore and so are private. Couldn't __dir__ be reimplemented to eliminate them. (I know that the current re module's dir() also returns private items, but I guess this is a legacy of not having the __dir__ special method?)
