I have now updated PEP 408 accordingly (i.e. rejected, but with a specific note about regex). And (since Alex Gaynor brought it up off-list), I'll explicitly note here that I'm taking your approval as granting the special permission PEP 399 needs to accept a C extension module without a pure Python equivalent. Patches to *add* a pure Python version for use by other implementations are of course welcome (in practice, I suspect it's likely only in PyPy that such an engine would be fast enough to be usable).
