Well, the actual behavior is a little bit more complex to describe.

>>> re.match('[.-_a-z]', '-')
>>> re.match('[._-a-z]', '-')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x100418e80>


>>> re.match('[.-_a-z]', 'b')
<_sre.SRE_Match object at 0x100418b88>
>>> re.match('[._-a-z]', 'b')

However, I don't think it is worth changing again the documentation.
