2, We can't use regex module as a drop-in replacement: import regex as re IMHO, I would like to see regex module be adopted into stdlib after cutting off its "full case-folding" and "fuzzy matching" features.
I think that omitting full casefolding would be a bad idea; after all, strings (in Python 3) have a .casefold method.
And I don't understand why omitting fuzzy matching is a good idea. If you don't want fuzzy matching, don't use it in your code. But why remove it? -- Steve
