[issue2636] Adding a new regex module (compatible with re)

[Matthew Barnett]

Matthew Barnett <python at mrabarnett.plus.com> added the comment:

I think I need a show of hands.

Should the default be old behaviour (like re) or new behaviour? (It might be old now, new later.)

Should there be a NEW flag (as at present), or an OLD flag, or a VERSION parameter (0=old, 1=new, 2=?)?
