hmm.  I could have sworn...   guess I didn't look carefully
enough (or someone's used his time machine again :-).

oh well, more bloat...

btw, "pattern" doesn't make much sense in SRE -- who says
the pattern object was created by re.compile?  guess I'll just
set it to None in other cases (e.g. sregex, sreverb, sgema...)
