So, it seems as if regex already uses a better algorithm although I

It still uses backtracking, like in the re module.
What’s the status of regex inclusion in the stdlib?
I'm not bothered about it. It's quite a bit bigger than the re module,
and, anyway, keeping it as a third-party module gives me more freedom to
make updates, which are available for a range of Python versions.
