[New-bugs-announce] [issue16443] Add docstrings to regular expression match objects

[Raymond Hettinger]

New submission from Raymond Hettinger:

The match objects currently do not have useful docstrings.  An easy task is to add docstrings modeled after the text in the regular docs.

  import re
  mo = re.search('abc', 'abc')
  help(mo)
