Summary: SRE objects of no known type

Initial Comment:
The new SRE re module doesn't seem to create pattern

SRE creates pattern objects that are of an extension type rather than an instance, so there is no entry for them in the types module.

Why do you think this is a bug?  The specific type of these objects should be irrelevant.  I'm classifying this as "Not a bug".
