[Python-ideas] Improving Clarity of re Module

For a match object, m, m.group(0) is the semantics for accessing the entire span of the match. For newcomers to regular expressions who are not familiar with the concept of a 'group', the name group(0) is counter-intuitive. A more natural-language-esque alias to group(0), perhaps 'matchSpan', could reduce the time novices spend from idea to working code. Of course, this convenience would introduce a bit of complexity to the codebase, so it may or may not be worth it to add an alias to group(0). What do people think? -- Alex Seewald
