I was talking only about the sre module stub, not the other sre_*
modules. These are still needed (e.g., sre_constants is used to
generate the Modules/sre_constants.h header).
Anyway, would it be a good idea to move the re and sre_* modules into
their own package?
re -> re.__init__
sre_compile -> re._compile
sre_constants -> re._constants
sre_parse -> re._parse
