Why is this so controversial? We're not talking about functional changes
to the re module, we're talking about improving error messages. Firstly,
the actual wording of error messages are not part of the API and are
subject to change without notice. Secondly, nobody is talking about
keeping the two modules syncronised on an on-going basis. This is just
to improve the re error messages using regex as inspiration.
