[New-bugs-announce] [issue30373] Incomplete description of re.LOCALE

[Jakub Wilk]

New submission from Jakub Wilk:

<https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#re.LOCALE> reads:
"Make \w, \W, \b, \B, \s and \S dependent on the current locale."

But this is not the only thing this flag does. When combined with re.IGNORECASE,  it also makes case-insesitive matching locale-dependent.
