[issue29459] `__contains__` and `get` methods for match objects?

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

I predicted that that change will open a can of worms.

The match object is not a dictionary. I don't see a need in new methods. The get() method you propose looks virtually the same as the group() method. "'a' in match" is virtually the same as "match.get('a') is not None".
