Summary: Fix for outdated paragraph in re documentation.
Initial Comment:
With recent changes to the re module, a section of the
manual has become out-of-date. The end of the Example
section has a warning about exceeding the recursion limit,
but the given example no longer does so.
This patch provides a new, not *too* contrived, example
which does hit the recursion limit, and like the original doc,
proposes a restructuring of it which avoids the recursion
limit.
It provides a "New in 2.3" sentence to show what's new.
It also renames the section from "Avoiding backtracking" to
"Avoiding recursion" since it has nothing to do with
backtracking (and never did).
