Would there be any interest in augmenting the test case library for
the regex stuff?
When I was working on PyPy, we were using a simplified regular
expression matcher to implement the tokenizer for Python. I was able
to take a lot of PCRE's regex tests and port them to test our regular
expression implementation (to make sure the DFA's were being optimized
properly, etc).
I believe the PCRE test library was under a very liberal license, and
so we may be able to do the same here. If there's interest in it, I
can do the same for Python.

wonder what the review process can be for such patches? Is there
someone
knowledgeable enough to be able to review them?
All test cases run ok? How well covered is that library?
I don't know, I haven't even tried it.
