[issue9529] Make re match object iterable

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I think that if the regex module will be adopted in the stdlib, not all it's feature should be included. Regex is too complicated. In particular indexing looks confusing (due to ambiguity of starting index and redundant first item in unpacking). If we will not add support for indexing, there will no incompatibility.

There is yet one solution:

0) Reject both iterating and indexing.
